In a difficult year haunted by the coronavirus pandemic, the Central Virginia region persevered — and in some cases made economic progress.
Henrico County led all other localities with a blockbuster endorsement of a $2.3 billion project, GreenCity, that would promote environmental sustainability and bring a 17,000-seat arena to the area.
The 204-acre property off Interstate 95 would also include 2,400 housing units and two hotels in the state’s first ecodistrict.
