Google, which plans to build a number of data centers in the area, will give 2 million dollars to the Roanoke Outside Foundation for the Project Outside, so that organization can then issue grants for local outdoor amenities. This includes work on rehabbing recreation spaces and building or upgrading trails. Project Outside grantees must use the funding over the next two years says Pete Eshelman with the Roanoke Outside Foundation. Since 2013 Project Outside has been able to raise and issue grants totaling a half-million dollars; at the Explore Park announcement today Eshelman said Google’s announcement of two million dollars was exponential in its scale – and impact.
