January Meeting Recap
On January 27th, LAIGW members were treated to a fascinating presentation on a new development taking place in Henrico County, VA, outside Richmond. Michael Hallmark from Future Cities presented details about the proposed development of GreenCity, a 200-acre planned eco-district in the greater Richmond area for up to 2 million square feet of office, hotel, retail, and residential uses, as well as a 17,000-seat arena.
What sets GreenCity apart from other mixed-use developments is its focus on sustainability at a district scale, with net zero energy and carbon benchmarks that its developers believe better align with a growing number of companies who have made climate goals a key part of their ESG corporate commitments.
