Chesterfield
The county debuted a new on-demand transportation pilot program. Called Access On Demand, the program offers low-cost specialized transportation for individuals with unique needs or for whom traditional public transit is not feasible. The service is county-funded and offers same-day, door-to-door service to eligible county residents.
The county named Thomas “Tommy” Tucker emergency communications director. The 32-year public safety vet had served as interim co-director of the Emergency Communications Center since October.
Sports tourism in the county had a local economic impact of $41 million in fiscal year 2018, an increase of $2.4 million over the previous year, according to a presentation to supervisors from a group including Jon Lugbill of Sports Backers, Jack Berry of Richmond Region Tourism and Martha Burton of Petersburg Area Regional Tourism. Contributing to the impact was River City Sportsplex, which hosted 26 out-of-town tournament events last fiscal year, and SwimRVA’s TYR Pro Swim series, which attracted 450 swimmers. Video of the presentation is available here.
