The RTD has the details on a conservation easement City Council is considering for the James River Park System.
A conservation easement would be placed on about 280 acres of parkland, including the James River Park System, Great Shiplock Park and Belle Isle, meaning the land never could be sold or developed, even with ball fields or cell-phone towers…
City Council President Kathy C. Graziano said Richmond’s riverfront parkland also warrants a guarantee of protection. “A future council may want to sell pieces of it,” she said. An easement “protects it from that, but it also protects it as a natural park. The beauty of the park is it’s a natural oasis in the middle of the city.”
