The Roanoke Town Council voted to enhance the security at the former town hall building at its meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 20.
The board signed off on the construction of a foyer in the building, which is located at 126 N. Main St. Town Marshal Jim Wood advocated for the move.
“It’s just an added security measure,” he said. “So, that way, we can control who’s going in and who’s going out.”
In addition to the former town hall space, the building contains the entrances to a rental space, which is occupied by McClure’s Market & Bulk Foods, and an office.
