The 30-second brief
71 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Radford's meetings, most in public safety and parks & recreation. The latest, from Oct 19: The Planning Commission held a work session on a zoning ordinance update, including new rules for short-term rentals, manufactured homes, and farmers' markets. The draft is still being revised, with staff planning to clean it up, integrate commissioner comments, and bring it back for public input. Two open houses were scheduled for November 2026, so the next decision point was still ahead. Firms supporting zoning code drafting, mapping, or public engagement could follow this as the ordinance takes shape.
