Morganton Trading Company and City Hall Revitalization

The Main Street Department helped create the City’s Redevelopment Commission, which was established to improve the eastern side of the downtown. Main Street worked with the Commission and the Development and Design Department to purchase, design and market an abandoned hosiery mill in downtown. That old hosiery mill was eventually converted to a mixed-use development that houses businesses, residential condominiums, and Morganton City Hall. Thanks in part to the efforts of the Main Street program, a blighted property was turned into a jewel of downtown Morganton.
