From email announcement:

The Department of Planning & Development Review would like to invite you, as someone who has previously attended Downriver public meetings, to a public meeting to discuss the results of the Downriver concepts developed over the last 10 months with your input. Please forward this invitation widely within your networks and among interested parties:

What: Public Meeting on Downriver Riverfront Plan Amendments
Where: City Council Chambers, City Hall, 900 E Broad Street
When: Wednesday, January 11, 6-8 PM

You can find copies of the materials to be presented and discussed at the meeting available on the City’s Riverfront webpage here.

That page now opens with a picture of the T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge – the first completed implementation project of the Riverfront Plan. We hope that you all have an opportunity to enjoy the Bridge over the holidays (and maybe even show it off to your guests!) and look forward to seeing you on January 11 to discuss the Downriver sites and next steps.

Happy holidays,
City of Richmond Department of Planning & Development Review
