Radford Plant Delayed, Citizenship Bill Rises | Roanoke News
Description
Radford Army Ammunition Plant’s $145 million incinerator, meant to slash air pollution by ending hazardous propellant burning, is now delayed until September 2027—pushed back from summer 2025 due to rigorous safety checks and design changes. The facility’s complexity demands precision, but past pollution concerns, including lead and arsenic near open burn sites and a recent report naming a contractor as a major toxic emitter, add pressure. Meanwhile, a controversial bill seeks to redefine birthright citizenship in U.S. territories by requiring U.S. citizen parents, sparking political debate. Tonight, candidate Adam Murphy will discuss Flock surveillance cameras and law enforcement’s use of vehicle tracking data, raising questions about privacy and justification.
