The first relocation phase

Martinsville says Community Development, Human Resources and the Economic Development Authority office will move to the first floor of the One Ellsworth Building, 1 Ellsworth Street. Community Development and Human Resources are scheduled to close October 30 and reopen Monday, November 2.

The city manager, city attorney and communications office are moving to the fifth floor of the Fidelity Bank Building at 231 Church Street East.

Check the office before traveling

The city warns that some services may be interrupted during relocation and says plans for remaining offices will be announced later. Residents should use the official notice or staff directory before visiting.

The move is phased; it is not a claim that every city department has changed address.

The city notice calls October 30, 2026 a Thursday, although that calendar date is a Friday. We retain the stated October 30 date without repeating the inconsistent weekday.

Confirm the closure directly with the office before traveling.
