Welcome, All
As the largest city and de facto
capital of West Virginia’s fast-growing
Eastern Panhandle, Martinsburg is
revitalizing its historic downtown and
building on its history, community
and proximity to major metropolitan
markets to become a great place to
live, work, visit and invest. Former
brownfield sites are becoming hubs
for research and development.
Historic downtown structures are
being transformed into mixed-use
residences and retailers. And small
businesses are seizing the opportunity
to join the blend of modern and classic
styling that brings the best of all
worlds to Martinsburg.
Martinsburg is connected by
rail and interstate highway
to the entire East Coast
marketplace, and its easy
transit connection to
Washington, D.C., allows
government workers,
contractors and early-stage
businesses seeking to
work those governmental
clients to take advantage of
Martinsburg’s affordability
while maintaining easy access
to clients and markets.
Investors in the City of Martinsburg
are also poised to benefit from
changes to state and federal tax laws
that encourage improvements to
opportunity zones, as well as local
tax credits for new businesses and
downtown investment.
A city where modern meets classic
and comfort meets convenience,
Martinsburg is working toward adding
more retail, recreation, greenspace
and parks to its already pedestrian-
friendly downtown while celebrating
its vibrant variety of existing
businesses and restaurants, including
Brix 27 Wine Bar & Restaurant,
the Historic McFarland House and
Patterson’s Drug Store.
