Virginia announced a $15.7 million grant Tuesday to build a large laboratory and work space in Roanoke for biotechnology company development. The project will be a joint effort by local economic development, government, health care and education organizations to cater to technology based companies that pay top wages. Organizers expect to begin construction of the planned new Roanoke research and business development facility this year, using a Carilion Clinic-owned building at 1030 S. Jefferson St.
