The Midlothian Initiative to Revitalize Rights of Way (MIRR) Task Force is a sub-committee of The Greater Southport Business Association. The subcommittee and Chesterfield County have been working with Timmons Group to develop a plan to improve, beautiful and revitalize the roadways, medians and rights of way in the Huguenot/Courthouse/Midlothian area. Private money has been provided in addition to public (County) money to provide the initial design. The design plan calls for several phases. The first phase will enhance the medians along Midlothian Turnpike from Alverser Drive on the west to Johnson Willis Drive on the east.
The proposed work will cost approximately $680,000 (including maintenance) and is proposed by the MIRR subcommittee to be paid over five years through a special tax assessment of the area property owners. It is proposed by the MIRR subcommittee that a $.02 tax increase will finance the needed improvements.
The attached power point presentation was shown at a public meeting held on May 12 to inform the public of the advantages of the planned improvements. The presentation shows the 1.) area being planned for improvements, 2.) type of landscaping being considered and 3.) before/after photos.
There is more information available on the MIRR Facebook Page.
The proposal of the MIRR subcommittee was adopted by the GSBA by the Board of Directors in a special meetig of the Board on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 CE by a vote of 8 Yes, 1 No, 2 Absent.
