West seeking School Board Chair?

Seventh District School Board representative Keith West is actively seeking to grab the reigns from current School Board Chairman George Braxton, this week’s Style reports.

“It’s just appalling the failures we’ve had this year,” West says, acknowledging his attempt to unseat Braxton. He says the chairman has a long series of failures of leadership, among them the School Board’s bungled responses – and lawsuits – related to Mayor L. Douglas Wilder’s call for an audit of schools and to his withholding of money budgeted to schools by City Council.

horses in Jefferson Park

Elaine at Church Hill Photography has the story (and some great photos) of the denouement of an annual 35-mile New Year’s ride from Charles City County to Church Hill of some local riding clubs. The ride always ends a Jefferson Park, overlooking Downtown Richmond, the State Capitol, and I-95, just at sunset.

Another hurdle for Echo Harbor

Richmond Chief Administrative Officer Sheila Hill-Christian has asked the RRHA to reconsider the sale of two vacant lots that were earlier promised to the Echo Harbor developer. The 2 properties, on a section of Main Street that leads to Richmond Intermediate Terminal, would be necessary for the developer to build a bridge from them over Dock Street to the project for emergency access. Hill-Christian says that the earlier agreement to sell the properties was made without knowing that Wilder and city planners opposed it. [via]

Keep an eye on what Dwight Jones, Jennifer McClellan, Henry Marsh, or any of the rest of the members of the Virginia House or Senate are up to.

proposed development at Cedar and Broad

Cedar and Broad Street

I’m hearing about a development proposed for Cedar/Broad/18th/Marshall that could be *big*. It would be mixed use, residential and commercial, to wrap around McDonald’s and use the rest of the block, and 3 to 4 stories. There will be a meeting for a special use permit Monday, January 21 at 7PM at American Tobacco Center community room, with materials on the proposed project available at the meeting. This area is in that particular cut-away corner that is *not* in the Shockoe Valley O&H district, btw.
