Henrico County held a ceremony to officially open the new Henrico Sports & Events Center at the redeveloping Virginia Center Commons mall site.
The 185,000-square-foot venue began hosting tournaments and other events in late October. The A-10 Women’s Basketball Championship will be held at the Sports & Events Center in March 2024 and 2025, and the facility is booked 46 weekends through 2024.
The $50 million center is helping to spur the redevelopment of the area around the former mall off Brook Road. ASM Global was announced in September as the facility’s operator.
Designed to host volleyball and basketball tournaments as well as graduations, the facility features more than 115,000 square feet of adaptable event space with stadium seating and room for 12 basketball courts or 24 volleyball courts.
The center was a joint effort by Henrico and local development firm Rebkee, which is leading the redevelopment of the razed mall into an urban-style mixed-use village. EDC was the general contractor.

Richmond City Council meets Monday starting with an informal session at 3 p.m. Business includes a discussion on the Equitable Affordable Housing Bond Program, and a closed session to discuss council liaison compensation, consult with legal counsel on collective bargaining for employees, and a contract negotiation for the Diamond District project.
Business on the 6 p.m. regular meeting agenda includes a resolution requesting that the Richmond delegation to the Virginia General Assembly introduce legislation to amend, repeal or add sections to the city’s charter. The request follows a report from the city’s charter review commission that recommended certain changes earlier this year.
Items on the consent agenda include special-use requests from Keel Custom to build five townhomes at 220 N. 20th St. in Shockoe Bottom, and from Maryland-based Breakwater Cos. for a redevelopment at 4605-4627 W. Broad St. for a six-story building with 155 apartments and ground-floor commercial space.
Also on the consent agenda are special-use requests from local investor Mark Telfian for a pair of three-story duplexes planned for a vacant lot at 1505-1507 W.

The Chesterfield Board of Supervisors is scheduled to meet Wednesday, and zoning requests related to a solar farm in Ettrick and a hotel are among its workload for the meeting.
New York-based solar energy firm CVE North America is seeking a conditional-use permit to build a 2.5 megawatt solar-energy facility on a 27-acre site at 4220 Hickory Road, per a county staff report.
The Planning commission recommended approval of the project. County staff recommended denial because the proposal isn’t consistent with the comprehensive plan, which calls for single-family residential development.
Also to come before the board is a proposal by Sina Hospitality to build a hotel just off Midlothian Turnpike near the Powhite Parkway interchange.
The hotel is planned to be a four-story TownePlace Suites hotel at 101 N. Providence Road. Ravi Patel, who leads the Chesterfield-based hotel company, previously told BizSense the plan is to start construction of what’s planned to be a $15 million hotel in the second quarter of 2024 pending board approval.
An update on the county-owned Southside Speedway property, which was the subject of a recent request-for-proposals solicitation in search of developers who could revamp and reopen the shuttered racetrack, is also scheduled to take place.
