The Martinsville Speedway, shaped like a paper clip, is located just outside the town of Ridgeway, Virginia.

Martinsville Middle School was built in 1939 as a high school and served as the home of the first black student in the United States, Albert Harris. The school was named after the African-American minister who was a prominent figure in the history of his community. AlbertHarris Elementary School opened in 1958 for high school students and is now a primary school for 4th through 8th graders and middle graders.

College and university in Martinsville include Patrick Henry College, where students can take satellite courses at the University of Virginia. On 16 November 2012, the EPO issued a Final Decision Response Comment (FDRTC) for the Martinville website.

The FDRTC has adopted the remedies described in the Declaration of Principles, which limited the facility to industrial use, with the existing soil covered in ash piles. In 2013, Virginia DEQ (VA DE Q) issued a corrective action authorization to implement the selected remedies.

The CMI - AP provided a general description of the proposed remediation measures and presented a detailed concept of the proposed soil and groundwater remediation for the FDRTC. The 100% design report was submitted with an amendment to the permit category 1, which was incorporated into the final planning for all remediation measures. As required by RCRA approval, VA DEQ has submitted and approved the design and construction of a new 50,000 square foot, 100 foot underground storage facility. All earthmoving activities, including excavation, drilling or construction, are carried out in accordance with the SWMU and AOC as set out in the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Impact Statement.

DuPont produces and manages various types of waste, including spent nitric and formic acid waste, spent fine oil and waste water. AOC, improved biological stimulation of soil and groundwater and remediation measures were implemented within the framework of the A OC by Du Pont Precision Concepts (DPC).

We will continue to assess the effectiveness of the remedies until the cleanup targets are met and will include definitive remedies at the site, even if these activities are not explicitly required by the RCRA approval. AOC, we have implemented a number of biological stimulation and remediation measures to prevent current and potential future contamination. We have conducted a comprehensive review of existing soil vegetation capacity, soil and groundwater monitoring and soil health for all nine SWMU A OCs.

The Solid Waste Management Department (SWMU) has implemented a series of biological stimulation and remediation measures for all nine A-OCs. In the Area of Concern (AOC) asphalt covers are monitored and maintained by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Virginia Department of Health.

The corrective actions of the RCRA at the facility are being carried out under the direction of the Virginia DEQ with support from the EPO.

Dr. Jesse Shackelford is the founder of the Hospital Association of Virginia and has developed and co-developed a part of Martinsville called Mill Town that has below-average rental housing originally provided by the city's Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Virginia Housing Authority (VHA). The new houses will be built on the site, for the first time on solid material and with municipal services.

What was originally considered a depressed middle-class neighborhood became a center of progress when middle-class blacks finally began to flourish, and the city of Martinsville as a whole, not just the black community.

The revolutionary patriot Patrick Henry, who lived briefly in Henry County (the district is named after him), was a good friend. The break was compounded by several flourishing plugs - in companies that sold their wares across the country at the beginning of the 19th century. Local families were heavily involved in these companies, giving them their name and making substantial profits until the early 20th century, when the tobacco monopoly created by William James Spencer and his son James E. Spencer bought most of them. In the 1920s, Spencer Bros. and other families joined forces to form other early companies, including Spencer & Company, Spencer Brothers, and Spencer's Tobacco Company of Martinsville.

An editorial in a local newspaper said: "The project, which has received much attention and praise, is the culmination of the redevelopment of the village formerly known as Martinsville Cotton Mill Village.

For centuries, the city's most important industry was furniture making, and the local economy staggered after the American Civil War. Today, some Virginia furniture manufacturers still live in the region, but by the early 1990s, global economic conditions had changed and changes were taking place in the US economy.

For the over-65s, the poverty line is $18,000 for adults, $19,500 for children under 18, and $23,400 for those over 65, including a median income of $27,800 for men and women. The age distribution is as follows: 26.3% have a child under 18 years of age, 39.0% are married couples living together, 19.1% have female homeowners without a husband and 38.2% live in non-family households. Of those over 65 years of age, 20.6% live in households with at least one male household or with two or more women.
