The Roanoke County School Board is expected to open the bidding process for Cave Spring High School. It was postponed from last week. They are expecting bids from three companies. They say the plans are still on schedule for moving classrooms into trailers over winter break and starting the renovations in January. Over the summer, county leaders had to delay starting the renovations after it only received one bid which they decided was too costly. The school system did a major cleanup over the summer, responding to reports of mold inside cave spring high school.
The Governor will be in southside later today. The Martinsville-Henry County Economic Development Corporation says there will be a major announcement. It's this afternoon at 2:30 at the Henry County Administration Building.
