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.

Richmond City Council to resume holding its meetings in person in September 2021

 

Richmond City Council / News Release

Tuesday, 13 July 2021

                                                                                                                                                   

Richmond City Council to resume holding its meetings in person in September 2021

 

WHAT   Richmond, Virginia – Richmond City Council is aiming for September 2021 to resume holding its in-person meetings.

 

During its Richmond City Council Formal Meeting held on June 28, 2021, Richmond City Council, per Richmond City Council Ordinance 2021-181, approved extending the continuity of government parameters - under which it has been operating since April of last year - to the end of this year, in order to provide it the opportunity to resume its meetings in person consistent with U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines in order to safeguard and ensure the public health, safety, and well-being of Richmond residents.

 

Richmond City Council meetings are currently being held virtually through electronic communication means pursuant to and in compliance with Richmond City Council Ordinance No. 2020-093, adopted April 9, 2020, as most recently amended by Ordinance No. 2020-181, adopted June 28, 2021. These meetings are open to the public and held virtually though electronic teleconference/videoconference via the Microsoft Teams platform and are closed to public in-person participation.

 

Richmond City Council has been successfully holding virtual public meetings via Microsoft Teams (rather than in-person gatherings in Richmond City Council Chambers) since spring of last year due to the ongoing deadly COVID-19 pandemic crisis that has and continues to impact so many families in Richmond, Virginia, our nation, and the world.

 

Richmond City Council’s next Richmond City Council Formal will be held (virtually) on Monday, July 26, 2021 and Council does not typically hold Formal meetings during the month of August. In-person meetings are held in Richmond City Council Chambers, on the second floor of Richmond City Hall, located at 900 East Broad Street in Richmond, Virginia.
