BACKGROUND
Shockoe Bottom
Neighborhood/Richmond Shockoe Small Area Plan
Public feedback continues to be being sought regarding
the draft Richmond
Shockoe Small Area Plan. The Richmond Shockoe Bottom Neighborhood is one of
the city’s most unique and historic areas. It has been experiencing significant
growth over the last few decades with the historic rehabilitation of vacant
factories and warehouses into residential and mixed-use development, as well as
construction of new buildings. Discussions and planning regarding the future
of the Shockoe Bottom Neighborhood include development of cultural heritage
sites and continued revitalization.
The Richmond
Shockoe Small Area Plan will also be a next step in the implementation of
the GRTC
Transit Company Pulse Corridor Plan, which focused on future development
along the Pulse Corridor and including the area surrounding Main Street
Station. The intent of the Richmond
Shockoe Small Area Plan is to knit together policies and guidance embedded
in the Pulse
Corridor Plan, the ULI Rose Fellowship work, and the Richmond 300
Master Plan in order to form a unified approach to revitalization and
development of this important neighborhood.
Councilmember Newbille personally holds individual meetings that
include her goals and accomplishments, topical agendas, and special guests. She
invites all Richmond East End 7th Voter District residents to attend. Her
meeting dates, times, locations, agendas, and special guests are subject to
change.
