Join Planning for an in-person community meeting on Wednesday, April 19, 4:30-7:30 p.m. at J.G. Hening Elementary School to share concepts and receive public comment on the Ridgedale Special Focus Area.

In 2022, Chesterfield County initiated a Special Focus Area (SFA) study for the Ridgedale area. There were several factors that prompted the initiation of a SFA plan in the Ridgedale area. The county saw an opportunity to reexamine the possibilities for an area that is a distinct gateway to the county. The area includes the currently vacant Chippenham Crossing Center, which formerly had a grocery store as a tenant. Ridgedale Parkway is home to public and private park facilities, apartment complexes and J. G. Hening Elementary School. Mary Stratton Park encompasses part of Falling Creek, and the East Coast Greenway has been proposed through the area.

Part of this SFA process includes opportunities for the county to engage with residents and community stakeholders regarding the future vision for the area. This community meeting is a chance for citizens to provide comment on conceptual ideas developed from initial input provided by immediate private stakeholders and multiple county departments.
