The Route 36 Task Force, an initiative of the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, this week released a study that suggests practical redevelopment strategies for the distressed Route 36 corridor. The Route 36 Study Report analyzes the current challenges facing the Route 36 corridor (Washington and Wythe Streets) between Petersburg and Fort Lee and suggests several scenarios under which redevelopment could be accomplished.
The study was conducted this spring by the Virginia Tech Urban Development Review Studio, a class of graduate students directed by Professor C. Theodore Koebel, Ph.D. The Phoenix Project facilitated and supported the partnership between the Route 36 Task Force and Virginia Tech as part of its university-community partnership building efforts in Petersburg. The full report is available at: http://www.phoenixproject.org/resources/Route36StudyReport.pdf
The Route 36 Task Force invites the public to a meeting at 9:00am on Thursday, July 9 at the Train Station in Petersburg to discuss the report and concrete next steps for revitalizing the corridor.
Please share this announcement with anyone who may be interested, and please email Marion Werkheiser at marion AT phoenixproject.org to let us know if you plan to attend.
