Developers offer to build Boulevard ballpark

City of Richmond:
“A development team has offered to build a new Richmond baseball stadium on North Boulevard without relying on taxpayer dollars, giving city officials a second option that could cause a seismic shift in the long-running ballpark debate. All nine City Council members and the administration of Mayor Dwight C. Jones have been given a general overview of the plan, according to Councilman Jonathan T. Baliles.’From what I have seen, this plan is real, and it’s ready to go save a few minor details,’ said Baliles, 1st District.

He added that he’s not committed to either plan, but said the city should take ‘a good look’ at the privately financed alternative to the mayor’s proposal to build a publicly funded minor league baseball stadium in Shockoe Bottom.”
