• Happenings Calendar: 7/1 - 7/8 (roanokerambler.com) — Floyd readers can catch weekly Friday Night Jamboree, Americana Afternoons, and Sunday Music Jam at The Floyd Country Store during this busy July 1–8 stretch. The broader regional calendar also highlights Independence Day fireworks, Roanoke and Vinton festivals, library programs, and city meetings across the Roanoke Valley, giving plenty of options for day trips, live music, outdoor fun, and civic engagement just beyond Floyd County.
• Virginia marches ahead with RGGI (selc.org) — Virginia is officially rejoining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, helped in part by a pivotal Floyd County court ruling that found the previous withdrawal unlawful. The article explains how the Floyd County-based Association of Energy Conservation Professionals and local circuit court decisions shaped the legal fight, and what renewed RGGI participation means for pollution cuts, utility bills, and funding for flood resilience and energy-efficiency projects statewide.
