The Dan River Basin Association has a new home in the historic Spray Mercantile building, at 413 Church Street, Suite 401, Eden, NC  27288. The Association’s new telephone number is 336.627.6270.

Mike Dougherty, Director of Business Development for the City of Eden, welcomed the organization to the city. “On behalf of the city we are thrilled to have the Dan River Basin Association in the City of Eden.  DRBA’s work here complements our river promotion initiatives, and DRBA is critical to the City’s efforts.”

Over the past year, the City of Eden has invited DRBA representatives to serve on a number of river, tourism, and land development committees and work groups.

According to executive director, Katherine Mull, “DRBA’s new location is central to the area we serve, and the Spray Mercantile building, with its courtyard and views of the water, is a perfect setting for an organization such as ours. Our new location in Eden gives us easier access to our Virginia office and to the eastern half of the Dan River watershed.”

The organization’s office suite is located on the upper floor of the building, which was renovated in 1983 by Spray Cotton Mills. The building, located between the Smith River and the Spray Canal, also houses other businesses and, on the lower level, Three Rivers Outfitters and Troublesome Creek Outfitters.
