its exciting times to be a member of the great community of Wytheville VA! With the Bolling Wiison Hotel and Graze on Main sitting center stage to the lovely Main Street/Downtown Wytheville Va.
Every year, Main Street America selects three communities to receive the prestigious Great American Main Street Award (GAMSA). The GAMSA is given to communities whose successes serve as a model for comprehensive, preservation-based revitalization efforts in the downtown. This year, Wytheville, Virginia has earned the well-deserved distinction of being named one of just eight communities nationwide to advance as a GAMSA semi-finalist.
This award is well-earned recognition for Downtown Wytheville, Inc., which is also marking 10 years as an Advancing Virginia Main Street (AVMS) community. Over the past decade, the organization has played a pivotal role in fostering economic growth and community development, achieving the following milestones:
- Nearly $10 million in public investment
- Over $22 million in private investment
- 338 private improvement projects completed
- Creation or retention of 268 jobs
- A remarkable 38,187 hours of volunteer contributions
Come see the beauty and feel the excitement of our sweet community. Congratulations on such a worthy award.
