Part 7/11 - 2012 Nov. 20 - Riverfront Development Plan - Land Use - City Council - Richmond, VA
Channel: Silver Persinger

Council members had a conversation and asked questions of Mark Olinger, Director of the Department of Planning & Development Review for the City of Richmond, Virginia.  

The amendments to the Riverfront Plan were continued from Council's last meeting to accomodate the owner/s of Mayo Island who feels the proposed amendment would affect the use and value of their land.  The City has a long standing expressed interest in acquiring the island for park land.  I believe Mr. Olinger said it had been a stated goal of the city since 1984.
