Huntington, West Virginia - A City Recreating Itself

If you haven't walked around the downtown core business area of downtown Huntington lately, do it! The city is in the process of recreating itself. New creations include Pullman Square, our new entertainment and shopping complex on 3rd Avenue, the redesigned 9th Street Plaza, the street-scape from 14th Street to Pullman Square on 3rd Avenue and the colorful and refreshed Harris River Front Park.

What a great start! Coming soon will be the new street-scape along a portion of 4th Avenue, which will run from the 9th Street Plaza to 10th Street and the restoration of the original facade of the Keith Albee Performing Arts Center. The 4th Avenue Corridor Project is under way!

We should all be encouraged by the vision being shown by our political leaders, involved community leaders, volunteers and community developers. Three cheers for the ongoing effort to create a new and vibrant Huntington!
