“We hope that someone in the same bind won’t have to go through the hardship of the planning process,” Harris added.
The county Planning Commission still has to give final approval to the center’s plans for the Route 211 site. Once that happens, the center can go ahead with groundbreaking for the new building—now slated for late September or early October.

September Leukemia
Drive Month
The Virginia Chapter, Leukemia Society of America, Inc., will be conducting its annual residential campaign in the state during the month of September. Only local volunteers with identification and assigned areas will be marching in the drive.
Twenty years ago, leukemia was a mysterious disease. Little was known about the cause, and less was known about the cure. More recently, researchers have come a long way. The Leukemia Society of America has funded $32 million of medical research in an all-out effort to put a stop to this killer.
Further information on the society can be obtained by calling Rosalee Baker, State Campaign Coordinator (804) 838-9351, or writing to: The Virginia Chapter, Leukemia Society of America, Box 21, 2101 Executive Drive, Hampton, Virginia, 23666.
