Artesian Group LLC

A local developer, Artesian Group, has made a significant investment in downtown Martinsville and is excited to play a part in revitalizing the heart of our city. The Fennemans and the Molins, the two local families that makeup Artesian Group LLC, have been part of the Martinsville Artesian family for many years. Both families have been significantly involved in MSD of Martinsville academics and sports, and have supported art, music and other local causes. Although both families have had diverse business experience outside the local community, it is now their passion to use that experience to benefit their hometown where they raised their families.

Currently, the Artesian Group has more than twenty buildings on the square, or within a block, that are in various stages of renovation. They are just getting started, so watch for significant changes as they move forward on other buildings. Their strategy is to renovate quickly, without sacrificing quality and safety. Rather than dragging out the process over multiple years, we feel this abbreviated construction timeline will be in the best interest of all. With a project of this magnitude, there will be challenges for existing businesses, as well as customers that frequent the downtown area, and we are committed to doing the best we can to accommodate everyone as much as possible.

With the community’s support and feedback, the Artesian Group plan to address any concerns in a timely manner and to keep the community informed about their progress. The Fennemans and Molins believe that input from the community is invaluable, as we all work together to create a vision for our downtown, the heart of our community.
