Warren County Community and Economic Development

Warren County is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of the new Warren County Farmers Market Pavilion, a project made possible through the generous support of two key partners: the North Carolina To***co Trust Fund Commission and the North Carolina Department of Commerce through American Rescue Plan funding. Their investment has created the foundation for a long-term community asset that will support local agriculture, strengthen small businesses, and provide a welcoming space for residents and visitors.

We invite the public to join us in celebrating this important milestone for Warren County.
The groundbreaking will be held at 429 W. Ridgeway St., Warrenton, NC at 2:00 p.m. on December 18th, 2025.

This project represents meaningful progress for our community, and we look forward to recognizing the partners who helped make it possible. We encourage everyone to attend and share in this moment as we continue building a strong future for Warren County.
