16 As Botetourt County once stretched from the Mississippi to Illinois, and included what would become Kentucky, parts of Ohio, West Virginia, along with numerous other counties, it’s not a surprise that many families can trace their origins back to Botetourt. As a result, one of our most requested and used services is research dealing with g enealogy. Visit Botetour t ’s History Museum on your own or with a group.

It seems like only a few insiders know about Botetourt’s rich legacy with horses. Breeding and working farms right here supply top ranked stock to the equestrian sports all over. And then there’s the connection to Churchill Downs—from the Breckinridges of Fincastle. Shown here is David Bandy with one of his many beauts at his Wiloma Plantation home in Fincastle. Working farms, stables, riding schools, as well as agricultural and livestock producers and historic farm houses in Botetourt County include Amethyst Acres, Annandale, Beaver Dam Farm, Breezy Rock Stables, Fincastle Farm, Hawthorne Hall, Jeter Farm, Layman Family, Santillane, Wheatland Manor, Williamson Farms, Wiloma Plantation —to name a few.

From your Director

Hello from Beautiful Historic Fincastle in wonderful Botetourt County, Virginia

So many great things continue to happen here in Botetourt County, and so many great and wonderful things have been happening for the Botetourt Chamber.

Who would have ever thought that following a pandemic we would be seeing all of this growth?

Your Chamber has also seen a banner close to 2022 with an uptick in its number of events, in both quality and attendance We saw an expansion in our ability to give to area food banks by adding Craig County Social Services Food Bank to our list of recipients, through the sponsorship and support of our sponsors We saw growth in our Tinsel Trail event as well.

Roundup

Connecting Our Community Broadband

Botetourt County received a Virginia Telecommunications Initiative grant of $3,084,796 to serve 1,901 addresses with broadband (a total project of $7 9 million) These additional investments will result in high-speed internet services across the entire county

Botetourt also worked closely with internet providers to develop a community landing page to keep citizens, visitors and businesses up to date with our broadband journey: www botetourtva gov/broadband

Expected Completion

This universal broadband installation project is slated for completion by the early 2024 At the end of this project, our county will have achieved universal broadband coverage for our residents and businesses

Good Government

Botetourt received an upgraded credit rating from Moody’s Investor Services. This rating translates to lower interest rates when the county borrows funds, which means the County spends less money to finance larger capital projects (which can also be utilized in other ways to serve citizens) A credit rating is a tool used by investors that represents our overall financial health and responsibility

Closing of Landfill with ZERO Cost to Residents

State of the County 2022

The following information is from the 2022 Annual Report introduced by the Botetourt County Board of Supervisors and Chair, Dr. Richard Bailey.

One of the biggest cost savings to our citizens was the closing of our Botetourt County Landfill with ZERO cost to residents This was made possible by our partnership with GFL Environmental The financial benefit of this partnership is approximately $34 million

Voter Precinct Boundary Changes

Completed state and local voting redistricting including five precinct boundary changes as a result of the 2020 census

Leveraging Grant Funding to Help Schools

GO Virginia awarded Botetourt County grant funding of $167,667 that will be used for the installation of ten new welding booths at the Botetourt Technical Education Center Welding Lab This partnership will help expand opportunities for our students and build our community’s workforce

Envision 2040 Survey

The second Envision 2040 Comprehensive Plan survey was launched to gather feedback from our community to continue shaping the future of Botetourt County This was just one of the many ways we worked to gather feedback from our community.

Reducing Fiscal Spending Through IT Improvements

Completed transition of wide area network to reduce the monthly cost of internet service to all Botetourt County government facilities

New County Website

A new county website was developed to improve user experience, providing easier access to county services View the website by going to www.botetourtva.gov.
