Henry Hotel control to be transferred

(RECAP: During the next two weeks, Martinsville officials expect to sign papers to transfer control of the former Henry Hotel to Waukeshaw Development Inc. for revitalization, according to Assistant City Manager Wayne Knox. Waukeshaw, of Petersburg, intends to spend $3.2 million to turn the four-story building at the intersection of East Church and Broad streets uptown into 25 apartments and four commercial units. After it starts, construction is expected to be finished in about 10 months.)
