Officials highlight continued redevelopment around Virginia Center Commons and future projects
Summary
Henrico officials described ongoing redevelopment in the Virginia Center Commons corridor, mentioned redevelopment of Best Products and a forthcoming Midtown 64 project, and tied those changes to improved trails, road connections and economic opportunity.
Speakers used the ribbon-cutting to place the new hotel in the context of a larger redevelopment effort in the Virginia Center Commons corridor, noting past and planned projects that reshape the Fairfield Magisterial District.
County Manager John Vithoulkas recalled the county’s decision to purchase and redevelop an old mall and thanked the development team that included Rebkee and Rob Hargett. Reverend Cooper described additional local infrastructure and recreation projects—citing work on Glover Park, the Fall Line Trail and the Garden City Connector Trail—and said Magellan Parkway will be extended to connect across I-95.
Speakers also hinted at forthcoming projects: Vithoulkas said the Best Products site will be "reimagined" (details not specified), and Neil Amin referenced "Midtown 64" as another large project coming online. No project timelines, funding details or formal approvals were announced at the ceremony.
