Tammy Spencer, Main Street Manager
 “Be the change you want to see…” – Mahatma Gandhi
I have been actively involved in downtown redevelopment through the Reidsville Downtown Corporation as a volunteer since 1998, serving as president in 2001 and again in 2006. During the 2006 term, the RDC decided to change direction in order to be more efficient and effective. As we worked to completely restructure our organization, the Reidsville city manager offered me the position of Director of Economic Development, a new post created earlier in the year by the Reidsville City Council and one that had remain vacant for seven months. Knowing that the position included managing the Main Street Program, I accepted in August on 2006.
My duties include working with small businesses and entrepreneurs and “internal” economic development; managing the Main Street Program through the Reidsville Downtown Corporation; and identifying and building on the assets of our community. I spend a lot of my time working on quality of place and quality of life projects and focusing on creative innovations for economic and tourism development for the downtown and the City of Reidsville.

Diana Moran, RDC Coordinator
 Diana Moran, a South Boston, Va. Native came to Reidsville in 1996 with her husband and son. She was very impressed with this small town and its beautiful historic homes and chooses to live in the city limits.
Reidsville’s downtown reminded her of her hometown and childhood shopping at Leggett’s, the local bakery which made hot donuts everyday, going to see the latest movie on the one screen theater with its beautiful red velvet curtain, Christmas shopping with her father at the local jewelry store for something beautiful and special for “Mama”.
In her current position as Coordinator for the Reidsville Downtown Corporation and with help from the Downtown Merchants, she promotes Reidsville’s Downtown District through special events. These events include the annual Spring Shop, Stroll & Cruise In, The Reidsville Downtown & Antique Alley District Street Festival held the second Saturday in October, our Stew Cook Off, and the Downtown’s Holiday Open House events.
Diana also is considered a staff member for the RDC with responsibility for facilitating Board Meetings. She does all this as a part time employee who loves and wants to see Reidsville as a thriving and growing community.
