What the sources support

Botetourt County says grading plans and a land-disturbance permit were issued in August 2026 and its project page now says grading began at the site during the second week of September. Building construction and DEQ/state permit completion were not established. The grading-start sentence does not print a year, and the page retains an older Fall 2026 grading expectation.
