"Amtrak is a great addition to travel services from Roanoke. It is
handy, parking is easy, simple to use, priced fairly and can get
me to and from central locations in D.C. or New York."

EEPING THE ROANOKE VALLEY A
career destination for a younger, more affluent
generation of workers has long been a goal of
those organizations charged with creating and
maintaining a healthy business climate in this western enclave
of Virginia.
There are multiple tracks used to attract and retain those
populations: everything from outside recreation, to shimmering
cultural opportunities, to next-generation technology
emphasis, to wildly varied educational possibilities, to a
growing transportation base.
These are exemplified, perhaps best, in the emergence of
Amtrak traffic to and from an old railroad town, supplementing
good roads, a classy-though small-airport with stimulating
possibilities. In its first year back, Amtrak has been an unqualified
success, both with the business and personal traveler.
Carilion Clinic President and CEO Nancy Agee, president
52 2019 VALLEY LIFE
of the National Hospital Association and a frequent traveler,
says, "I have ridden [Amtrak] about five times and I love it.
It's convenient, clean, quiet and an easy way to get to D.C. or
New York City. I can work while I travel, arriving in a central
location without the usual travel weariness. The landscape
from here to D.C. is beautiful (is there anything more beautiful
than watching the sun rise over our Blue Ridge Mountains?)
and gives me time to contemplate and reflect.
"I see all sorts of riders: business people, students, families,
people having a few days off. I almost always see someone I know
from the area. Amtrak is a great addition to travel services from
Roanoke. It is handy, parking is easy, simple to use, priced fairly
and can get me to and from central locations in D.C. or New York."
Though the Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport has limited
direct connections, that could change in the coming months.
Additional services could become available as new connections
to Denver, Dallas and Detroit are considered. Already five airlines
