The Town of Blacksburg is working to restore the ecosystem in Heritage Park after being awarded a $230,000 environmental endowment grant.

PULASKI, Va. – “It was tremendous,” Zane Quesenberry said when asked how he felt knowing he helped rescue a man from floodwater. “They had already made contact with the gentleman and he was refusing to get out of his car,” Quesenberry said. After the rescue, Quensenberry and his wife drove the elderly man home. The man’s wife, Quesenberry said, had no idea her husband was in danger. The landscaping company employees, the elderly man and his wife all declined to be interviewed.
