Powhatan Planning Commission to consider 43-acre industrial development
On the docket for the Powhatan Planning Commission’s Tuesday meeting is a proposed industrial park that would rise on a 43-acre site near the Powhatan-Chesterfield line.
Cross Creek Development Corp. is seeking to rezone the site to light industrial (I-1) from its current agricultural (A-10) designation. The site is on the north side of Anderson Highway and near the Oakridge Business Park.
A specific development vision wasn’t laid out in the zoning application and related staff report. A conceptual plan shows four development pads and a single vehicular access to Anderson Highway.
The I-1 district’s by-right uses include warehouses, medical facilities, recreational facilities, self-storage businesses, auto businesses, data center, restaurants and other uses.
The applicant would agree as a proffered condition to not allow some typically by-right uses in I-1, including massage clinic, wood and stump recycling business, auction facility and fire training facility, per the application.

The commission also will receive an update on the city’s code refresh with discussion with consultant Code Studio.
$17M Creighton Road project continues in Henrico
Work on Henrico’s Creighton Road improvement project between Laburnum Avenue and Sandy Lane is proceeding toward an anticipated completion in 2025.
The project will bring a new four-lane divided road with curb and gutter and sidewalks on both sides, as well as a realigned intersection with Dabbs House Road. The project also will eliminate potentially dangerous curves and reduce the likelihood of flooding, the county said in an update.
The two-year project kicked off in March 2023 and is projected to cost $17 million. Work started with a $14 million contract that was awarded last year to Glen Allen-based Abernathy Construction Corp.
