The Aaron Mills Apartments is a new community of affordable housing in a historically industrial area of downtown Martinsville, Virginia. The site was a former mill occupied by American Furniture from the 1920s to the 1990s, and prior to that time it was used as a sawmill, lumberyard, coal yard and feed storage. After the furniture manufacturing facility ceased operation, the building burned down, and the City of Martinsville secured a Brownfields grant to perform site evaluation and cleanup to its current vacant land condition.

VCDC is proud to welcome Rupert School to our portfolio, an affordable housing community in Rupert, WV that transforms an old elementary school building into 20 apartment homes, a community health clinic and additional community-centered services designed for residents of Greenbriar County. This redevelopment effort began with the vision of local residents who saw potential in the aging and abandoned Rupert School buildings after flood devastation. Today, this revitalized campus serves as a vibrant hub of connection and community, bringing new life to the heart of Rupert.
