RADFORD (WSLS 10) - Ground was broken Wednesday for a new child development center in the New River Valley.
The center will be called the Radford Early Learning Center and will house close to 140 children from six-weeks-old up to pre-kindergarten.

The new building will cost more than $1 million and has been in the works for about three years, after studies showed around nine of ten children in the Radford area did not have access to qualified or licensed child care.
The Radford Early Learning Center is scheduled to open in January 2016.
