On The Record with The Roanoke Rambler: Exclusive on Hotel Roanoke Sale Talks & School Funding Debate

WFIR Morning Anchor Ian Price speaks with Roanoke Rambler Reporter Jeff Sturgeon, who shares exclusive reporting on Virginia Tech’s exploration of a potential sale of the Hotel Roanoke. With plans for a $14 million conference center expansion on hold, what could a sale mean for the city and university partnership? Then, they dive into new tensions over school funding in Roanoke, as city and school leaders quietly reconsider whether leftover school funds should be returned to the city. It’s all part of our ongoing On The Record collaboration with The Roanoke Rambler.
