Projects in St. Paul, Tazewell receiving Virginia Main Street grants

Three southwest Virginia communities will share a portion of 200 thousand dollars in Virginia Main Street grants to support projects aimed at revitalizing historic commercial districts, expanding small businesses, and growing local economies.

The Town of Abingdon is receiving funds to install benches, bike racks, and wayfinding signage to connect the Main Street district to local recreational assets such as the Virginia Creeper Trail. The Town of Tazewell is receiving funds to support a high-priority, high-impact project and St. Paul Virginia will see funding for alley improvements connecting Third Avenue with Fourth Avenue between the Western Front Hotel and local restaurants.
