Celebrating our Community in Rocky Mount and Franklin County, VA !

Our all volunteer board continues to meet and plan events for the community. We continue to be most pleased, and grateful,  for the participants, guests, and sponsors of all our events to celebrate Rocky Mount and Franklin County, our HOME!     

Community Partnership has been quite busy since the start of the new year! We are most excited about the progress we and Town Management are making to re-join the Virginia Main Street program. As Governor Youngkin said recently, " The Virginia Main Street program has been instrumental in nurturing small businesses, growing local economies, and preserving historic downtowns for nearly 40 years”. Watch for updates!!!   

In Rocky Mount, we always look forward to spring when our streets are lined with cherry trees in full blossom! This project was started by Community Partnership, which was organized in 1995,  as we joined the Virginia Main Street program. Anne Carter Lee Gravely, one of the organization leaders, was passionate about trees and, with the help of the town, started this beautification project. Within a few weeks, we will all enjoy seeing these trees in full bloom!!!                                                                     

We are so grateful for the following sponsors for 2025: Carter Bank & Trust, Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital, Town of Rocky Mount, Franklin County, Davis Heating & Plumbing, B99.9,  Flora Funeral Home, Franklin County Parks & Rec, Edward Jones - Zach Wimmer, Haywoods Jewelers, Linda's Beauty Shop and Pearle's Thimble.
