Something new is coming to Downtown Williamston!

Martin County Tourism Development Authority is excited to begin renovations on our new downtown Welcome Center. Previously "The Enterprise" Building, this historic new home for Explore Martin County will welcome visitors, share local history, connect people with our communities, and encourage exploration of all Martin County offers.

We’re also excited that The Enterprise / APG Media will remain in the building as part of this next chapter. Their operations will continue on-site while portions of the building are reconfigured and renovated for the new Welcome Center.

🛠️ Interested contractors and vendors: We are preparing to begin several renovation and updating projects and are seeking bids from local and regional businesses. Projects include interior renovations, office and bathroom work, small roof and moisture repairs, interior and exterior painting, façade improvements, electrical and lighting upgrades, HVAC repairs, and other cosmetic improvements. Informal bids are due by Nov. 4th.
