REVITALIZATION OF COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGH HISTORIC PRESERVATION, RESTORATION/REHABILITATION, AND REDEVELOPMENT OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT; AND THROUGH ITS DIVERSE AND COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES.
Program accomplishments
- THOMAS REVITALIZATION INITIATIVE - SOON AFTER ITS INCEPTION IN 1998, VHF BEGAN INVESTING SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TOWARD REVITALIZATION EFFORTS IN THOMAS, WV, A SMALL, RURAL MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY IN THE HEART OF CENTRAL APPALACHIA. WHEN VHF INITIATED ITS FIRST EFFORTS IN THOMAS, THERE WERE VERY FEW OCCUPIED COMMERCIAL STOREFRONTS AND NOT MUCH TOURISM ACTIVITY. SINCE THEN, VHF HAS PRESERVED AND STABILIZED NUMEROUS HISTORIC STRUCTURES IN THE DOWNTOWN (HISTORIC) COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, AS WELL AS ON DOUGLAS ROAD, A MILE FROM DOWNTOWN. THESE INCLUDE PROPERTIES OWNED BY VHF, INCLUDING THE 1900 BUXTON & LANDSTREET BUILDING OR "B&L" (THE FORMER DAVIS COAL & COKE COMPANY STORE); THE 1920'S PEACOCK (FORMERLY DIBACCO) BUILDING; AND THE LATER SAGACE BUILDING. ALL OF THESE UNDERWENT COMPLETE RENOVATIONS TO ACCOMMODATE BOTH SMALL BUSINESS AND RESIDENTIAL USES. VHF ALSO INVESTED ITS OWN FUNDING IN STABILIZING OTHER IMPORTANT LOCAL HISTORIC PROPERTIES (OWNED BY NON-PROFITS OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT), INCLUDING COTTRILL'S OPERA HOUSE ON FRONT STREET AND THE "ENGINEERING BUILDING" (FORMERLY THE DAVIS COAL & COKE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING ADJACENT TO THE B&L. AS THE DC&C FLAGSHIP AND ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT BUILDINGS ARCHITECTURALLY IN TUCKER COUNTY, THE B&L IS NOW LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND IS ONE OF THE FEW REMAINING COAL COMPANY STORES. AS NEW RENOVATIONS ARE NOW REQUIRED, VHF IS FOCUSING ITS ATTENTION ON THE B&L AND HAS ADDITIONAL PLANS THAT COULD CONVERT THE UPPER LEVEL TO AFFORDABLE, SHORT-TERM LODGING TO ACCOMMODATE THE GROWING TOURISM ECONOMY LOCALLY. THE LOWER LEVEL FEATURES AN ART GALLERY AND HISTORIC DISPLAYS AND DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE NEARBY BLACKWATER RIVER AND BLACKWATER HERITAGE TRAIL, THE B&L CAN ALSO SERVE AS A VISITORS' CENTER AND TRAILHEAD LOCATION. ADDITIONAL EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR AMENITIES ARE PLANNED FOR THE SITE THAT WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT TO LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES, WITH A FOCUS ON THE ARTS AND OUTDOOR RECREATIONALL IN A MANNER THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH PRESERVING THE IMPORTANT COAL AND COKE INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE OF THE AREA WHILE EDUCATING NEW VISITORS.Expenses $148,415 · revenue $73,022
