You are Invited to Vision Day!

Jul 25, 2009
8:30 AM - 12:00 PM

We hope you agree that Uptown is an important piece in the puzzle for Martinsville and Henry County's economic future. We are inviting you to join a community-wide conversation in creating a consensus Vision for Uptown's future. The direct result of this meeting will be a Master Plan so that groups can seek funding to implement the Vision.

Please take part in Vision Day on July 25 starting at 8:30 a.m. at the Rives Theatre and ending at New College by Noon. Also included will be a historic walking tour mid-morning and a light outdoor lunch at noon.

Since early this year, building on the momentum of change Uptown, groups of citizens and leaders-- under the umbrella of Uptown Partners-- have focused on Uptown topics, specifically:

· the struggle of local business,

· the diverse music and arts activities,

· the rich history in furniture making,

· potential for housing and active living.

For more information on the City's Planning Grant or Uptown Partners contact Wayne Knox, Community Development Director at 276-403-5169. Visit www.uptownmville.com to keep track on Uptown Partners' projects.

We look forward to seeing you on July 25!
