Roanoke Times building for sale after more than a century in downtown Roanoke
ROANOKE, Va โ After more than a century in its current building on Campbell Avenue, the Roanoke Times is now looking for a new home. Staff at the Western Virginia Historical Society say the building is a community staple. Journalists with the Roanoke Times unionized last year to form the Timesland Guild in hopes of advocating for better wages and benefits. Ultimately, it was Berkshire Hathawayโs decision to sell the building, but the journalists of the Timesland Guild say they will continue to serve the Roanoke community. The staff at the Roanoke Times have been told they will find a new place to work from and relocate once the current building is sold.
