ICE STORM BROUGHT OUT BEST IN RADFORD FOLKS

Recently the City of Radford and the New River Valley experienced a devastating ice storm. No area of the city or valley was spared the devastation. Many families were without essential services for a number of days. During the height of the storm, the City of Radford had a large number of employees who worked in excess of 30 hours straight in order to restore service to as many residents as possible. City residents also opened their homes to neighbors and friends who were without electricity.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all individuals who assisted in the effort and offer a special thanks to all city employees who gave unselfishly of their time and effort during this difficult situation.

\ Tom Starnes \ Mayor of Radford
