Jefferson Davis Corridor Study

Each year the RRPDC performs a technical assistance project for one of the Region’s four larger jurisdictions. In 2011, Chesterfield County requested an economic study of the most distressed portion of Chesterfield’s Jefferson Davis Highway (U.S. Route 1) Corridor. The commercial corridor currently lacks many services and retail options for residents and this study will support the county’s effort to identify economic opportunities.


Rivers of the Richmond Region: A Public Access Guide

The RRPDC recently published Rivers of the Richmond Region, a regional guide of public access points to the Appomattox, Chickahominy, Pamunkey and James Rivers.

The guide, which includes a map of the access points and descriptions of the amenities available at access point, was funded through a grant from the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The map will be distributed to the public through local parks and recreation departments, river keeper and boat outfitters, selected tourism and visitor centers, libraries, river-based businesses, and river access points.
