Virginia Baptist Homes will file an appeal with the Virginia Supreme Court asking it to reverse a Circuit Court judge's ruling that The Glebe, an upscale Botetourt County retirement community, does not meet state tax-exempt guidelines as a religious or benevolent organization.

'We are optimistic that the Supreme Court will hear our case and confirm what we believe, that the operation of The Glebe is indeed benevolent and religious, and that it is entitled to the exemption granted to Virginia Baptist Homes by the General Assembly,' said Randall Robinson, Virginia Baptist Home's president."
