The Chesterfield Business Council of the Greater Richmond Chamber supports the efforts of the Midlothian Initiative to Revitalize Rights of Way (MIRR), a subcommittee of the Greater Southport Business Association, for their plan to improve, beautify and revitalize the roadways, medians and rights of way in the Huguenot/Courthouse/Midlothian area through a $.02 special tax assessment of the area property owners. We appreciate the thoughtful outreach efforts of the county and MIRR to communicate with and educate local businesses on the benefits of this enhancement. While we feel that the state and VDOT should fulfill its obligations to properly maintain medians in Chesterfield County, we applaud MIRR for proactively seeking solutions to keep the Midlothian corridor attractive and thus creating a positive image for existing business and future business investment.
