The City of Roanoke has several grant and assistance programs for businesses. You will have the best opportunity to participate in these programs if your business is located in either of their Enterprise Zones.
Enterprise Zone One A: Is centered along the main east-west tracks of the Norfolk Southern Railway,
Enterprise Zone Two and the 581/Hershberger Subzone include the East Gate residential area, parts of Hollins Road North, the Roanoke Centre for Industry & Technology, Statesman Industrial Park, and the west side of Interstate 81 across from the Roanoke Regional Airport.
