Coming Soon: Carytown East?

July 15th, 2009 | posted by Peter

Mayor Jones expressed interest to GRTC officials today to purchase the operations facility at the intersection of West Cary St and Davis. According to a report from the Times-Dispatch:

The Fan-area property, almost 7 acres along West Cary Street between Robinson Street and Stafford Avenue, has been viewed as a prime development site for a mixture of residences, businesses and offices ever since GRTC announced more than two years ago its plan to move.
...

[Press Secretary Tammy Hawley] emphasized that the city would be seeking private development of the property. She also said the city believes it should play an active role in the process because the site has significant potential.

"The mayor has said he wants the city to grow by design, not by default," she said.

Sell it to Pierce-Arrow,

Sell it to Pierce-Arrow, LLC. They're HQ is on the next block and they appear to actually manage area properties with useful intent, as opposed to sitting on real estate and playing for speculative value, which appears as the standard of Richmond's ownership class.
