Martinsville's Henry Hotel gets $600,000 from State for Revitalization Project

City of Martinsville
“City leaders wanted the old Henry Hotel building to continue to serve Martinsville, but needed extra money to make it ready for builders. Local schools recognized by Virginia Board of Education
This week the governor announced a 600 thousand dollar state grant to help fix up the old Henry Hotel.

About six years ago the city bought the building for nearly a half-million dollars. The project was put on hold while city leaders looked for grants and a redevelopment firm that agreed to do the remodeling.  City leaders chose a firm from Petersburg, Virginia that plans to convert it to an apartment building.”
