History
Annexed from Roanoke County in 1976, [2] most development within the Airport neighborhood has been commercial in nature beginning with the opening of Crossroads Mall in 1961. [3] Outside of the Roanoke Regional Airport property, the area remains primarily commercial and was also the location of the Advance Auto Parts corporate headquarters.
