Meeting on rebuilding the Richmond City Jail, history of Eastview
08/30/2010 4:56 PM by John M
Councilwoman Ellen F. Robertson will hold a 6th District meeting on Saturday, September 11, at the Conrad Center at 1400 Oliver Hill Way. The agenda for the meeting includes: Rebuilding the Richmond City Jail, History of Richmond’s Eastview neighborhood as the first middle-class housing subdivision developed specifically for blacks in Richmond.
For more information, please contact Lynne Lancaster, Council Liaison, Richmond City Council, Gateway 6th District, at 804.646.7964 (office) or lynne.lancaster@richmondgov.com; www.ellenrobertson.com
That is not Eastview. The real Eastview would be more impacted by the jail than the faux one erroneously mapped by the city.
Hey John, I don’t know if you knew I was doing Council stuff again but thought you might like to this video from Robertson’s meeting about a new City Jail.
