Three Innovative Economic Development Projects to Watch in Henrico


 

As we celebrate International Economic Development Week, it's essential to recognize how innovative development projects can impact our communities.

Projects like GreenCity, the visionary eco-district, the reimagining of Innsbrook into a mixed-use, walkable community, and Virginia Center Commons neighborhood with a state-of-the-art Sports and Events Center, retail and affordable housing have the potential to enhance the quality of life for our region greatly.

GreenCity is a groundbreaking project showcasing the latest innovations in sustainable design and technology. With its emphasis on renewable energy, green spaces, and cutting-edge infrastructure, GreenCity promises to be a model for environmentally responsible development.




Similarly, reimagining Innsbrook into a mixed-use, walkable community is a bold step toward creating a more livable and vibrant region. By building varied housing options, retail and dining establishments, and public spaces, Innsbrook will remain a destination for residents and visitors alike.

Finally, the redevelopment of Virginia Center Commons, a vibrant mixed-use community that will feature a $50 million indoor sports arena, residences, retail space, and co-working spaces. The thriving center will serve as an economic engine for job creation and tourism and an even more outstanding quality of life for our residents.
