Designed to emphasize walkability, the engineering requirements for infrastructure such as water, sewer, and electricity made Mount Hope a desirable city to live and play in. With wide cross streets and narrow streets through town, the commercial core of this company town was ripe with activity. Besides a few exceptions, Mount Hope never lost its orientation toward people. Known as "The Little Town with a Big Welcome," the New River Company developed the town with planning and permanence in mind.
