New downtown development office officially opens for business

On Thursday morning, Mayor Sandy Roberson, who was the first speaker for the official opening, told the gathering he loves what the space looks like and said the space is absolutely fantastic.

At the same time, Roberson drew laughter after he made clear to the gathering he had to tell them, “This is the first time since I was in driver’s ed at 15, which is more than a couple of years ago, that I had to parallel park in downtown Rocky Mount.”
