Martinsburg Growth Tied to Family Firms and Community Park
Martinsburg's business core centers on family firms and farming support. The Fried man picture framing business reports doubled sales since 1980, with three traveling salesmen covering Missouri to southern Iowa. The local bank notes 80 percent of business from farmers, while Wieberg Implements serves the area. The new city park cost 20,000 funded by revenue sharing and local funds, and civic leaders tout an enduring small-town identity amid growth and closures.
