Delegate Sam Rasoul is requesting $600,000 from the General Assembly to evaluate improvement ideas for Roanoke, including a Ferris wheel on Center in the Square. Rasoul emphasizes the importance of creative investment for Roanoke's redevelopment, focusing on feasibility and structural studies.

If successful, the Ferris wheel could become a shining new star on Roanoke’s skyline and a fresh attraction to energize downtown.
