Martinsville Uptown is a Designated Main Street Community of Virginia Main Street and the National Main Street program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Like thousands of communities across the country Martinsville Uptown has adopted the Virginia Main Street ApproachTM.

ORGANIZATION - Martinsville Uptown works to establish consensus and cooperation by building effective partnerships among all uptown stakeholders.

ECONOMIC RESTRUCTURING - Martinsville Uptown works to strengthen uptown's existing economic assets and fulfill its broadest market potential.
PROMOTIONS - Martinsville Uptown works to create and market a positive image based on the unique attributes of the uptown district.
