Vinton Town Manager Pete Peters and Vinton’s Economic Development Specialist Marshall Stanley hosted the Harvest Foundation Board of Directors from Martinsville/Henry County on March 21 to discuss Vinton’s economic development programs and initiatives. They also provided a tour of the downtown area for their guests to see the results.
The Harvest Foundation was established in 2002 from the sale of Memorial Hospital and is committed to honoring the legacy of the hospital by being good stewards of the foundation’s assets and by using these assets to produce resources for the citizens of Martinsville and Henry County. The organization seeks to inspire, invest in, partner with and support community initiatives in health, education, and community vitality– to support the area as a place where everyone has the opportunity to live, work, and play.
Roanoke County Economic Development Specialist Karli Foster facilitated the visit to Vinton.
