GDNA Wins Neighborhood improvement award for 2025

Greater Deyerle Neighborhood Association Award_2025.png

On February 12, 2026 at the Roanoke Neighborhood Advocates annual neighborhood awards ceremony - the Greater Deyerle Neighborhood was the recipient of the 2025 City of Roanoke Neighborhood Improvement Award for our work rehabbing our neighborhood gateway signs. This was truly a team effort, with many people contributing their time and efforts to helping us essentially rebuild and improve both their appearance, but also their usability (hanging our GDNA meeting signs). This was made possible with some of the Spark Plug grant money awarded last spring.
