Pittsylvania ounty ineyardsThe omeplace ineyard in hatham is true to its name. The

vineyard is owned and operated by the fourth generation of theWilliams family to work on the family land. riginally a tobaccofarm purchased by the family in 1912, it is now a buddingvineyard and local spot for great wine and entertainment. Thefamily planted their first vines in March 2005 and have addedthree new varieties of grapes in the years since then to e pandtheir growing wine list. omeplace gives tours of the vineyardand wine-making process, and in 2010 they opened a log cabin,hand built from the logs of old tobacco barns, where they nowhost tastings.

Just a few miles outside of hatham is another great irginiawinery, the Tomahawk Mill ineyard and Winery. The land onTomahawk reek was owned by James nderson for 100 yearsfrom 1888 and used as a grist mill. The mill was turned into a

vineyard in 1988. Today the vineyard boasts nine differentvarieties of wine from a sweet concord to a dry hardonnay.Tomahawk hosts several wine festivals and seasonal eventsthroughout the year.

Everything old will soon be new againin downtown Danville. A masterredevelopment along the banks of the Dan River is bringing city leaders,

business owners and residents together as theDanville River District takes shape.

bl d ll f pThe focus of the plan is to redefine the

boundaries of the existing downtown and TobaccoWarehouse historic districts into the new RiverDistrict, says Anne Moore-Sparks, project managerfor the City of Danvil les Office of Economic

Development. She says the district will blendurban design with the historic character of downtown Danville, addressing issues such as

connectivity to the river, vehicle accessibility,streetscape improvements, vacancy issues, publicspaces, and funding and development opportunities.

Inspired by the revitalization of Greenville, S.C.,the Danville Regional Foundation and Danville cityleaders recruited a national urban design f irmto develop the River District Master Plan, to besubmitted to the city in late 2011. The plan willidentify short- and long-term projects, and hasgarnered much community support.

changes already under way. In spring 2011, the districtwelcomed upscale bar and restaurant Jakes on Main to215 Main Street. Also opening in 2011 was 316 Cibo, a Wi-Fihotspot serving breakfast and lunch items such as pastries,fresh fruit parfaits, paninis, soups and salads. The eateries join downtowns already popular Main Street CoffeeEmporium. Additional retailers include Amburn and

Company Salon and Spa on Main, Adams Shoe Shop andthe Ferrell Building. In late 2011, Averett Universitys GraduateProfessional Studies program and the Danville RegionalFoundation will relocate to a shared space on Bridge Streetin the heart of the Tobacco Warehouse District, serving as acatalyst for further development in the district. The RiverDistrict also is expected to grow thanks to downtownincentives such as the Real Estate Abatement Program,Virginia Enterprise Zone Program, Local Enterprise ZoneIncentives, and the Federal and State Rehabilitation Tax Credit.

Residential units in the Danville River District will exceed170 by late 2011, when the Ferrell Building will completerestoration of 13 market-rate apartments and commercialspace. Old-world charm and a recent $9.5 million renovationdraws residents to the Dan River Crossing Senior ApartmentHomes on Bridge Street. Residents of all ages discoverluxurious urban style and spectacular city views at The

Burton Condominiums, and Lindsay Lofts also offersresidents impeccably modern design in the heart of Danville.For families on a fixed income, Lynn Street Lofts offersaffordable two- and three-bedroom rentals.

The types of residents are very diverse and that isencouraging for the district, Moore-Sparks says. Thecondition of a downtown is an economic indicator for therest of the community. The end goal is to improve the qualityof life for our citizens while recruiting new jobs andinvestment to Danville.

It has become a centerpiece of downtown Danville again, after

serving as a busy rail yard forSouthern Railroad and the siteof the citys gas and purifying plantlong ago.

When the nations railroad industrybegan to downsize considerably in the20th century, the once-vibrant Crossingat the Dan started to fall into disrepairand neglect at its downtown site alongthe Dan River. Many old buildingssat vacant for years, but today theCrossing has been transformed intoan entertainment complex for the21st century.

Located at the Crossing in 2011

are the Carrington Pavilion, DanvilleScience Center, Riverwalk Trail, Pepsi

Building, Amtrak Crescent train stationand a Community Market Building.This place used to be a big rail

yard and there are still some old tracksburied under the ground, says JacobMcCann, Crossing at the Dan programdirector. These days, the Crossing isgetting more popular and busier andgrowing every year we even added acommunity garden in 2011 where peoplecan sign up to plant and harvest produce.

All Crossing at the Dan buildingsare owned and leased out by the cityof Danville except for the ScienceCenter, which sits on the grounds but

is owned by the state of Virginia.Here is some quick backgroundon sites at the Crossing:

C o p l oCarrington Pavilion is in a park that

has 1,100 fixed seats, and another 5,000people can attend concerts and eventsthanks to lawn seating. A large stageaccommodates at least three majorconcerts each year, and acts that haveappeared in recent years include theZac Brown Band, Brad Paisley, LynrydSkynryd and The Beach Boys.

15 years ago in what was then anabandoned train station. Back in 1995,the establishment of the Science Centerin downtown Danville served as acatalyst for redevelopment and wasinstrumental in bringing the Crossingback to life.

Today we attract 30,000 visitors ayear, which is double what we had inattendance in the mid-2000s, saysJeff Liverman, executive director atDanville Science Center. The centerprovides many opportunities for allages to continue to learn, and we area true family destination.

r w l t lRiverwalk Trail is a 6.5-mile paved

path that runs along the Dan River andis maintained by the Danville Parks

and Recreation Department. One of the major trailheads is at the Crossing,where plenty of parking is available.

p b lThe Pepsi Building is more than

100 years old and has recently beencompletely renovated.

It is now utilized as a rental space for

meetings and small receptions, and itsused a lot, McCann says. The old Pepsilogo is still on the outside of the building.

a C c s oAmtrak Crescent reminds people

of the communitys rich train historyby still having a passenger stationconveniently located in the Crossingsdowntown district. The station providespassengers with train travel options toplaces such as New York City, Atlantaand New Orleans.

Co m b lThe building first opened in

1903 and has all its original woodinside. It has been converted into anentertainment-type facility forfestivals, weddings, receptions and

other events.It also houses our farmers marketthat convenes every Saturday from7:30 a.m.-noon from May throughOctober, McCann says. There are60 vendors selling produce, bakedgoods and organic items. The market just adds to the overall ambience foundat the Crossing.

Its understandable that RobertBennett has a sunny disposition.

Bennett is the CEO at U.S. GreenEnergy Corporation, a relatively new

company that manufactures solarizedbuilding materials. The company iscurrently constructing a $30 million,27,000-square-foot plant in Danville thatis scheduled to open in the third quarterof 2011.

We will actually heat and chillour new building using solar powerwe collect from its roof, Bennett says.U.S. Green Energy looked at a numberof locations in Virginia as well as f ive orsix different states for our new facil ity,and we chose Danville because the cityalready has green technology plans theyare actually implementing. Danvilleisnt just talking about green technology it is embracing it.

U.S. Green Energy is amonga growing number of green techcompanies now doing business in

Danville and Pittsylvania County, andBennett estimates that his companywill have a workforce of 400 employeeswithin three years. Once the plant isoperating in late 2011, U.S. GreenEnergy will begin producing a varietyof solar roofing materials such as slate,tiles and shingles.

If a business owner or homeowneris considering a premium roof made of slate, synthetic slate, ceramic or tile,our products are less expensive than

traditional roofing products, and ourcustomers will have free electricitythanks to our solar technology, he

says. A premium traditional slate roof costs about $75,000 these days and wecan do it for around $50,000, thanks inpart to federal energy incentives. Anddont forget there is free electricityfrom solar power.

Bennett says U.S. Green Energyalready has customers lined up inDanville as well as big cities likeRichmond and Washington D.C.

Slate roofs are attractive and popularfor commercial clients as well as ownersof historic homes, but slate roofs wear outafter a while, he says. It makes greatsense to replace one with a solar slate roof for the many reasons I have mentioned.

Co gAnother local company that focuses

on green technology is EcomNets,which will open in Danvilles AirsideIndustrial Park in late 2011 tomanufacture Verdio green computers.The Verdio PC is the size of a mousepadand made from recyclable materials,and only requires 28 watts of power.

EcomNets hopes to produce 20,000PCs during its first year and sell thecomputers for $299, compared to greenPCs from Dell and Hewlett-Packardthat retail for about $499. EcomNets

officials say they plan to initially hire160 employees, including assemblyworkers, software engineers, and asales and tech support staff.

C o i o f lMeanwhile, at Piedmont

BioProducts LLC, this Gretna companyis researching raw material crops forthe production of future biofuels.Besides clean energy, a key goal fordeveloping new biofuels is to help theeconomy in communities hit by the lossof private agriculture and traditionalmanufacturing industries such astextiles, furniture and tobacco.

The crops and raw materials forPiedmont BioProducts LLC will be grownby farmers who are members of PiedmontProducer Agricultural Cooperative.Current crops and raw materials beingstudied for future biofuels includeswitchgrass, corn, hay, plants and trees.

Danville-Pittsylvania County is luckyto have well-trained workers who are

familiar with production work, and will bequick to learn about all kinds of emerginggreen technologies, Bennett says.

The Danville PittsylvaniaCounty Chamber of Commerce isdemonstrating success through avariety of innovative programs that aremaking a difference in the community.At the top of the list is education,with education grants, meaningfulworkforce development initiatives andhands-on tools that small businessesneed to thrive and expand.

Education has always beenimportant to this chamber, saysLaurie Moran, chamber presidentand CEO. This year, thanks to thegenerosity of the Danville RegionalFoundation, we wil l award more than$125,000 in grants to local educators.This will open up the opportunity forcreativity and innovation with teacherslike we have never seen before.

Requests for the funds will rangefrom a few hundred dollars tothousands, Moran says, and theypromise to enhance the classroom.

Weve got some of the brightestand most creative teachers in thiscommunity, and were excited thatwere going to be able to fund someof their great ideas, she says.

Workforce development is a prioritywith the chamber and partneringagencies, says Moran, who was recentlyelected chair of the National

Association of Workforce Boards.Working with Danville CommunityCollege, the chamber brought togetherarea manufacturers and developed atraining program where the classroomis modeled more like the workplace. Atthe end of the course, manufacturershave access to all records so that whenthey are ready to hire, they have proveninformation from which to draw.

The majority of chamber membershipcomes from the small- business sector,and the chamber works closely with theDan River Business Development Center,an incubator that assists start-upbusinesses and those in a growth mode.

One of the greatest values weprovide is the ability to network andmeet other businesses, Moran says.Weve found that our small businessesdont know how to network to markettheir businesses. Over the past 18months, we have focused on workshopsthat help our small businesses refinetheir networking skills.

Customer service can make orbreak a business, Moran says, andthe chamber has recently held manycustomer service training workshops.

This is a critical issue for business,Moran says. Typically, it is whatdifferentiates businesses that succeedfrom businesses that fail.

Failure is certainly not part of theprogram of work of this chamber.I believe you have to demonstratesuccess, Moran says. You developgood plans and programs, and if theyre

good enough, the funds and the peoplewill come to you. Betsy Williams

bars filled with T s whilepatrons dine, and he knowsthat other restaurants withloud atmospheres often servegood food. But Muncey, a chefwho graduated with honors fromNew orks ulinary nstitute of

enders Wine Bar & Bistro inDanville says the ultimate finedining e perience includes a lackof distractions so that a customercan enjoy a conversation with onespecial person, or with a group offriends or business associates.

Thats why actually addedinsulation and noise absorbers inmy restaurant, and there are noT s or distracting music to disturbthe ambience, Muncey says. thought Danville and Pittsylvania

The dining atmosphere atenders also features an e tensive

wine list from which patrons canpurchase wine by the glass orbottle. nd now, for the first timesince the restaurant opened inJuly 2010, there is a separate bar

and lounge to enjoy a drink beforedinner, if desired.

s for my menu, developdishes with plenty of fresh localfood that has a bit of outherncharacter for southwest irginia,Muncey says. ntrees includeshrimp and grits, blackenedgrouper and catfish with collards,plus have unusual dishes attimes like North tlantic wolffish, branzini and mahi-mahi.
