The City of Martinsville, Virginia is a beautiful, historic small city located on the North Carolina line about 30 miles west of Danville, Virginia. Traditionally, relying upon an economic base of furniture and textiles, the area has had a long history of support for industry and manufacturing. In the aftermath of NAFTA, the community has watched as several large manufacturers closed, unable to compete with foreign competition. Government, business and education have worked hard to provide sites, shell buildings, and trained workers for new industrial development.
