On September 13th, Richmond Mayor Lavar Stoney presented his plan for allocating $155 million in American Rescue Plan funds. The plan directs $78 million towards parks and community centers. Please do your part to support the James River Park.
There’s a quote out there about the power of a group. It alludes to the fact that one person doing something small may not make a difference, but a lot of people, each doing that small thing, can exact a colossal change.
Improving access to the James River within the James River Park System is a priority of the James River Outdoor Coalition (JROC). The James River Park System’s Huguenot Flatwater area is now one step closer to having a universally accessible access ramp!
Since I’ve arrived in Richmond, my window overlooking the James River has shown me many great things and I’ve seen the wonderful opportunities the City has to offer. This past year or so has certainly given me much to reflect upon.
We recently took advantage of a wonderful Fall day to catch up with Catherine Farmer on Belle Isle.
She’s in charge of the Habitat Restoration Project there.
