What a great Stars and Stripes Celebration in Clifton Forge last weekend! 🇺🇸

It was wonderful to see so many people come out, celebrate together, and enjoy everything that makes Clifton Forge such a special community.

We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who supported Clifton Forge Main Street and helped make the Stars and Stripes Celebration possible. Events like this take a lot of community support, and every contribution helps us bring people downtown, support local businesses, and create special moments for families and visitors to enjoy.

Thank you as well to all of the volunteers, everyone who helped behind the scenes, and everyone who shared posts talking about your time downtown. Your support made positive difference!
We are so grateful for everyone who helped make this celebration such a success!

The Town of Clifton Forge is seeking proposals from individuals, businesses, nonprofits, developers, and other interested entities for the acquisition and redevelopment of 600 Main Street, a prominent gateway property in Downtown Clifton Forge. The Town is looking for creative, financially viable projects that support economic development, create a community-facing destination, and activate both the building and surrounding site through uses such as retail, food service, arts, tourism, workforce development, community space, or other innovative concepts. The selected purchaser will enter into a redevelopment agreement requiring the project to begin within six months of property transfer and be fully operational within twelve months. Proposals must include a project narrative, business plan, implementation schedule, and evidence of financial capacity. Preference will be given to projects that generate community benefit, encourage public engagement, strengthen downtown vitality, and demonstrate long-term sustainability.
