Martinsville EDA invites public input on 51 Lester redevelopment

MARTINSVILLE — The Martinsville Economic Development Authority will host a public discussion about the future of the former American of Martinsville Plant No. 10 on Monday, Oct. 19, 2026.

The discussion is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. at 51 Lester. The City of Martinsville says the session is intended to help residents learn more about the redevelopment effort and share ideas about the property's future.

The city notice does not list a registration requirement, fee, agenda or decision that will be made at the meeting. People interested in the project can review the city's linked project information before attending.

The former American of Martinsville Plant No. 10 is the specific redevelopment site identified in the notice. The meeting is a public-input opportunity; it should not be read as an announcement of a completed redevelopment plan.
