Roanoke City Council will hold a public hearing tonight about banning firearms on city property. The ban would include the municipal building, community centers, parks and more. State law was changed last year to allow localities to issue the ban. Those found in violation could be charged with a misdemeanor. Council will also hold a public hearing about expanding the Williamson Road Area Service District. The expansion would include properties near the Berglund Center and along Hershberger Road.
