Historic Smithfield
Historic Smithfield, Inc., a non-profit organization, was created in 1988 to serve the Smithfield Historic District by enhancing its physical
appearance, preserving and promoting its history and furthering the viability of its commercial core. The organization was tasked with
raising matching funds to a grant from Joseph W. Luter III and the planning of the revitalization project. By 1997, improvements such as
placing utilities underground, constructing brick sidewalks and installation of period street lights were completed. As well, the economic
vitality of Main Street was significantly improved with a varied mix of shops, eating establishments and historically significant venues. In
1999, the Virginia Downtown Development Association recognized Smithfield for its Main Street Beautification Project.
Most recently, Historic Smithfield has provided fiduciary support for the Schoolhouse Museum project and the South Church Beautification
Project. In April 2010, Historic Smithfield agreed to sponsor and provide fiduciary support to the Smithfield 2020 project.
