We invite you to visit, explore, stay awhile.
Downtown is a great place to get a sense of Burlington's history, people and culture. Visit the Historic Depot, enjoy the excellent May Memorial Library, spend some quality time in our locally-owned shops and eateries and don't miss an opportunity to take in a show at the beautifully restored Paramount Theater.

We think you'll feel right at home.
A great place for your next adventure, we are strategically located between the Triad and Triangle regions of North Carolina. Downtown Burlington is one of Alamance County's largest employment centers and home to Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp), one of the world's largest biomedical testing firms. Come find out why Burlington is the downtown that works!

Master Plan
Burlington is in the midst of an exciting period of implementation following the completion of our downtown master plan in April 2008. The BDC, City of Burlington and a host of community partners have united to bring the plan vision to life. The complete plan (4.48 MB pdf) is available for download. Contact our office to see how you can be involved!
