Construction starting on Creighton Court redevelopment
Financing for the first phase of vertical construction for the Creighton Court redevelopment closed in mid-December.
The Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority, The Community Builders and the City of Richmond are leading the redevelopment of the East End public housing community, one of Richmond’s oldest.
The first phase will involve construction of an initial 68 units and is estimated to take place over the next 18 months. An additional 72 units are set to follow.
Once construction is complete, leasing of the 68 units will begin. Priority will be given to Creighton Court residents who have elected to remain on site. Twenty-one of the initial residences will be project-based voucher units for Creighton families.
A formal groundbreaking event is planned in late March.
Financial support for the first-phase closing came from the City of Richmond, Virginia Housing, Bank of America, Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development and the RRHA. More information and updates are available on the project website or by calling 804-780-4343 or emailing [email protected].

At their meeting last week, Henrico supervisors approved a rezoning request to allow a mixed-use development at 1401 Eastridge Road that would add to the overall redevelopment of Regency mall. The triangular-shaped lot across Parham Road was previously the site of a vehicular entrance to the mall via a ramp and underpass.
The board also approved a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of over $121 million of general obligation public improvement bonds for various projects for schools, roads, recreation and parks, fire stations and public safety facilities, and flood prevention and stormwater drainage facilities. The bonds were approved by voters in referendums held in 2016 and 2022.

The Chesterfield Board of Supervisors decided last week to defer its final consideration of a new phase of the RounTrey development until its March meeting.
Doug Sowers and son Danny Sowers are seeking rezoning approval to further develop their RounTrey project near Brandermill and north of Swift Creek Reservoir.
They want to be able to build a 102-lot development on roughly 51 acres at 3101 Otterdale Road. The expansion, which would have its primary access point on Otterdale, would also feature outdoor common areas and a trail network, according to a staff report.
Sections of the RounTrey development have already been completed. The development has been the site of past Homearama events.
Hanover supervisors approve industrial park rezoning

Hanover supervisors voted last week to approve a rezoning request tied to an industrial park project that would rise on a site that straddles the county’s border with Goochland.
Todd Walton and Patrick Dolan intend to build an industrial park on an 84-acre site just to the north of I-64’s Oilville-Goochland exit. The overall park would be divided into 14 lots, according to a conceptual plan. They sought and received zoning approval to change the Hanover side of the property to light industrial district (M-2).
The Goochland Board of Supervisors previously voted to approve a zoning request related to the Goochland side of the project, and changed that portion of the park to industrial, general use (M-2) to allow light industrial uses on the site.
