Culpeper Renaissance, Inc.

We are a charitable organization charged with supporting the growth and vitality of Culpeper’s historic commercial district. In 1988, Downtown Culpeper was designated a Virginia Main Street Community and we are the organization designated by the state and the Town of Culpeper to carry out the Main Street activities. The main street program was organized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to help revitalize the economic vitality of downtown commercial districts using the Four Point Approach. The results have been remarkable - new businesses are opening, and investors are putting their money into once vacant buildings; tourists are visiting unique shops and restaurants, and residents are enjoying renewed community pride. Hundreds of jobs have been created, a dedication of more than 35,000 volunteer hours and $55 million of private investment in the revitalization of downtown since CRI's founding. Help make Culpeper downtown a vibrant, fun and exciting place to live, work and play!
