Investing in the Future of the Dan River Region - Revitalizing the Tobacco Warehouse District |
"Occupying some 40 blocks of the heart of the city, this historic district
formed the economic wellspring of 19th-century Danville. The various warehouses,
factories, shops and dwellings display the city's mill-town personality
and the rise of its working class.
Industrial activity in Danville grew
in conjunction with the development of its transportation systems and
with the cultivation of bright-leaf tobacco, which shaped Danville into
one of the South's primary tobacco markets.
The tobacco industry achieved
its greatest growth in the 1870s and 1880s with the emergence of plug
and twist tobacco manufacture. Today the district is composed of approximately
585 buildings related to the development of Danville's tobacco enterprise." - Virginia Main Street Communiites
Today Danville is reinventing itself as a retail-hub, a progressive manufacturing center, and home to an ever growing number of high-tech industries.
We are part of this change. Remington Professional Buildings is a Virginia-based and family owned company with years of experience in commercial construction. We are investing our time, our money, and our energy in helping to shape the new Danville.
