Why is our downtown important and why does Culpeper Renaissance Inc. work so hard to keep it a central hub of activity for locals and visitors to enjoy?

A healthy downtown is key to a strong community. A vibrant and successful downtown protects and strengthens our existing tax base, increase sales and returns revenue to the community, creates a positive community image, attracts new businesses, creates new jobs, protects property values in surrounding residential neighborhoods, and preserves Culpeper’s historic architectural resources.

Our downtown is a symbol of our community’s economic health, local quality of life, pride, and community history. These are all factors in residential, industrial, commercial, and professional recruitment.

Long-term revitalization establishes capable businesses that use public services and provide tax revenues for the community. This lessens the burden on local government and the community's taxpayers as well.

Culpeper Renaissance, Inc.’s Organization Committee is committed to building partnerships between downtown stakeholders, residents and leaders in our community to further advance the shared goals of Culpeper downtown’s current and future success.

Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. (CRI), is a 501c3 charitable organization charged with supporting the growth and revitalization of Culpeper’s historic commercial district, the downtown. Culpeper is a Designated Vir- ginia Main Street Community and CRI is the organization designated by the state and the Town of Culpeper to car- ry out the Main Street activities. Virginia Main Street’s approach to assisting communities with their revitalization efforts was developed by the National Trust for Historic Pres- ervation’s National Main Street Cen- ter. This national model began as a three-town demonstration project in 1977 at a time when retail sales were shifting from downtown to shopping centers and malls at the outskirts of communities. “Main Street America” was deteriorating and the future of our historic downtowns appeared bleak. The highly successful demonstration of projects helped downtown advocates formalize several revital- velops leaders for the community’s or businesses are recruited.
