It may be a work in progress, but Spitzer says they've
received positive responses from residents and visitors
on the work so far. "As projects are getting started and
finished we have seen a lot more interest in downtown
storefronts and businesses," Spitzer says.
Of course, the most dramatic visual change to downtown is the new Vinton branch of the Roanoke County
Library.
"The space will have a teen room, kids room, music
station, adult area, an outside sitting area with a fireplace and an outdoor screen for movies," Spitzer says.
There will also be a new coffee shop for residents to
enjoy while perusing through books.
At the end of the day, the vision for downtown Vinton is to make the area more welcoming and inviting,
with a mix of businesses-retail and restaurants-
where residents and visitors can find what they need
within walking distance.
"The overarching goal is to have a downtown where
people don't park their cars and visit just on business,
but where they park and stay for a couple of hours and
visit multiple places," Spitzer says.
ON THE INSIDE
A view of Lee Street,
Behind the new storefronts and beautiful new library
are two other developments towards revitalization:
branding and entrepreneurship.
The "Are You IN Vinton" campaign can be seen
throughout the town, including the side of a public
works truck and on every page of the town's calendar.
As part of the revitalization grant, the Town of Vinton received a market study and branding development package that business and residents alike have
warmly embraced.
"People are responding well," says Mary Beth Layman, special programs director for the Town of Vinton.
"The Vinton Town Council walked in the Dogwood Festival Parade last year handing out 'IN Vinton' bumper
stickers, followed by a truck that had the 'Are You IN
Vinton' banner. It's been integrated into Mingle at the
Market promotional materials as well as material for
the annual Senior Expo."
