SPARK INNOVATION CENTER

We’re carrying on Altavista’s legacy of building great businesses.

More than a century ago, the industrious Lane brothers founded the town of Altavista, envisioning a place where the American dream could flourish. Over the years, Altavista has witnessed the rise of numerous exceptional businesses and industries that have left an indelible mark on our community.

Today, we proudly carry forward Altavista's legacy into a new era. Comprising innovative small business owners, creative minds, and telecommuters, Spark embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship that has defined our town for generations.

The Spark Innovation Center is a dynamic collaboration between the Town of Altavista, Altavista on Track, the Virginia Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission, the USDA, and various partners. However, the real driving force behind our success is the unwavering commitment of local leaders and small business owners who dare to dream big.
