Richmond identifies $14 million in downtown projects for Stellar Communities grant

Mayor Sally Hutton learned late Monday that the city is one of six finalists for the state’s community development grants. In the past two years, the Stellar Communities grant project has awarded $40 million total to four communities over two years.

“This is a great opportunity for us and, obviously, we’re thrilled,” Hutton said Tuesday. “I think it shows that the state appreciates the work we’ve done and the work we’re planning.”
