Council opens the door to archaeological exploration in Shockoe
Funding and start date have not been determined.
The City Council voted unanimously Monday to support archaeological research at the former Seabrook Warehouse site, which lies in the footprint of the ballpark-anchored development proposed by Mayor Dwight C. Jones in 2013.
The council’s resolution is nonbinding, and the work will depend on officials finding about $50,000 to pay for it.
The site in question is located at 212 N. 18th Street is currently a parking lot and was believed to be the best example of where development plans and known historical sites clash.
