The newspaper’s classified, advertising, business and administration offices are located in the main building. The work is expected to be completed by around May 15.

New Drive Through Service Island at Roanoke Rapids
The Daily Herald has installed a drive through island in front of its building. The island features a single copy rack for Sunday and another for the daily. Now motorists can drive directly off the street and past the service island to buy a paper without having to worry about parking. A drop box will be installed next to the racks by mid-May so people can also drop off payments, milestones announcements, letters to the editor or contest entries.

To complete the look the old rusted cyclone fence was removed and a new black garden fence was added.
