Crowd skeptical of ballpark plan at public meeting

City of Richmond

“When the crowd at Tuesday night’s ballpark meeting was asked to use electronic clickers to vote on the most positive aspect of the redevelopment plan for Shockoe Bottom and the Boulevard, the top answer, at 36 percent, was none of the above. In second place, at 26 percent, was the proposed historic commemoration of the Bottom’s slave trade. The ballpark came in third, at 21 percent.

The result may have, in part, been a verdict on the limited polling format rather than the plan itself, but the vote capped off another night of questioning on the wide-ranging development proposal from a skeptical crowd of about 75.”
