CHRISTIANSBURG – The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors has approved the purchase of a building located at 305 Roanoke St. in Christiansburg to house the administrative offices of the county’s fire and emergency services personnel.
The Supervisors approved the purchase at its Feb. 24, 2025 meeting. The purchase price of the building was $925,000, with closing taking place on Thursday, Feb. 27.
“Prior to purchasing the property, the county conducted due diligence by completing both a Phase I and a Phase II environmental assessment,” the county announced. “In addition, a property appraisal was completed by a third party.”
“The primary purpose of this building is for administrative office space for the county’s career fire and emergency management services administrative staff,” said Angie Hill, Montgomery County Administrator. “In addition, the building will be used for classroom-style training for career and volunteer fire and rescue first responders, as well as equipment storage.”
“This new administrative office space provides the Montgomery County Fire and EMS Department, in partnership with the County’s fire and rescue volunteer agencies, the necessary capacity to serve our growing community,” the county’s statement reads. “With the purchase complete, the next steps include architecture and engineering work. Once design plans are finalized and approved by the Board of Supervisors, then renovations to the building will begin. This process is anticipated to take 12 to 18 months.”
