Jackson Ward/Gilpin Court redevelopment plan gets underway

3 Comments »

Carver & Jackson Ward News has details on the public planning process initiated by the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) to kick off the revitalization of the North Jackson Ward Community, including Gilpin Court and Dove Street:

RRHA selected ICON Architecture Inc. of Boston as the firm to lead the agency’s planning process for the revitalization of North Jackson Ward which includes Gilpin Court and Fay Towers . ICON will serve as the Master Planner for the revitalization process, meaning the company will create a document which describes, in narrative and with maps, an overall development concept including both present property uses as well as future land development plans. ICON will also develop the planning schedule, prepare financial analyses, and engage all stakeholders, including residents, community leaders, and city political and business leadership, in a participatory process where input and design elements will be guided by realistic and sound market principles.

RRHA’s own website is thick with additional information and documents on the process.

    OK, leave the buildings up and start the clean up on your own without the city’s help. If not, then it is time ti move.
