History, Charm and Southern Hospitality
The Village Center has been the heart and soul of the historic Village of Pinehurst since 1895. It is a place for residents to congregate and for visitors to explore. It is a retail shopping destination with character and ambience like none other.
The Village Center, however, has been negatively impacted by the most recent economic recession and as a result faces many challenges in ensuring its economic viability.
In May 2010, The Village Council appointed the Village Center Enhancement Committee to develop strategies to “formulate actionable recommendations designed to enhance the health and vibrancy of the Village Center.” This Village Center Enhancement Strategy represents those recommendations.
As a result of the NCDDA report, the Village Center Enhancement Committee reorganized itself and formed three subcommittees to formulate work plans for the recommendations:
The Village Center Enhancement Committee’s Primary Area of Focus and Secondary Area of Focus were agreed upon by the Village Center Roundtable Group and includes the areas highlighted in the map. This Village Center Enhancement Strategy is for the Primary Area of Focus.
To help create a dynamic and vibrant Village Center with a variety of shops, dining establishments, accommodations, and events in a way that is unique, charming, and attractive so residents and visitors frequent the Village Center often and businesses thrive.
