A proposed wind farm in Botetourt County, while still quite large, continues to get smaller. Apex Clean Energy said Wednesday that it plans to build 14 turbines, each one 612 feet tall, along a ridgeline on North Mountain. When the county board of supervisors approved a revised plan for the project in May 2020, it allowed a maximum of 22 turbines at a height of up to 680 feet.
Botetourt County has written an application to take part in Virginia s Drug Treatment Court program. Commonwealth s Attorney John Alexander discusses the concept.
When Mac Scothorn was beginning his optometry practice in the late 1990s, one of his stops was at the former Botetourt County Correctional Center, in Troutville.
During a few years seeing to inmatesâ vision needs, Scothorn learned of an intensive drug treatment program that sought to keep offenders out of the state prison, also known as Camp 25.
He remembered one inmate telling him that the program had saved him from destroying his family, and he looked forward to a life on the outside.
