The Goochland County Planning Commission voted 4-1 to recommend approval of a plan to convert the 16,000-square-foot former Massey family mansion into a wedding venue and vineyard with short-term lodging. The proposal now goes to county supervisors, who will consider it at their Sept. 3 meeting. Towne and Country Partners requested to defer its rezoning application for its $100 million Manakin Towne project to the commission’s next meeting Sept. 5.
Goochland supervisors meet Tuesday at 3 p.m. Public hearing items include a proposed boundary line agreement with Louisa County making the line consistent with the border used by both localities’ GIS systems. Full agenda here.
Arena-hungry Henrico tours N.C. event center
Henrico County supervisors traveled to North Carolina on Friday to tour the Rocky Mount Event Center, joined by the county parks and rec advisory commission and Richmond Region Tourism. The county is pursuing development of an indoor arena in the county and continues to weigh proposals. Friday’s tour came amid reports that discussions over a proposed site at Richmond Raceway had fallen through.

Mayor Levar Stoney will submit ordinances for the proposed Navy Hill redevelopment at a special meeting of City Council scheduled Monday at noon. The action follows Stoney’s announcement Thursday that negotiations between the city and the project’s backers had concluded.
The proposal to replace the Richmond Coliseum and redevelop a surrounding 10-block area now stands at $1.5 billion. The submittal would trigger a 90-day review period for an advisory commission that council appointed to scrutinize the project.
The meeting will be held in council chambers at City Hall. Council’s Organizational Development Standing Committee will meet afterward in closed session to consult with legal counsel on a proposed city charter referendum.
The Planning Commission’s regular meeting scheduled for Monday has been cancelled.
