Waynesboro Powers Progress: $2.6M Funding Boost for Local Innovation

The City of Waynesboro is excited to announce a significant funding milestone that underscores our commitment to community improvement and innovation. Recently, we raised $2,600,000, a transformative infusion of capital aimed at enhancing our municipal services and supporting projects that ensure a high quality of life for our residents. Nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains—the Natural Capital of Virginia—and serving as the gateway to outdoor adventures such as the Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline Drive, and Shenandoah National Park, Waynesboro has long been celebrated for its warm welcomes and rich cultural amenities. This funding will be dedicated to further developing our city’s infrastructure, promoting economic growth, and enriching the shared spaces that make our community unique. Projects include revitalizing public spaces, expanding recreational facilities alongside the natural beauty of the South River, and investing in innovative municipal services designed to meet modern challenges while preserving the historic ambiance of our cherished Shenandoah Valley. By empowering the City of Waynesboro with these resources, we continue a proud tradition of nurturing community prosperity and pride, ensuring that Waynesboro remains a vibrant small city with easy access to adventure and history alike. Named in 1797 after Revolutionary War Hero Anthony Wayne and designated an Appalachian Trail Community, our city’s identity is firmly rooted in both tradition and progress. We invite community members to join us in celebrating this funding announcement, as we work together to build a safer, more prosperous, and inviting Waynesboro for all.
