Venture Richmond and our predecessor organizations have been involved in many of downtown Richmond's most innovative and essential economic development initiatives. From planning and implementation to providing inclusive economic participation and creating awareness for downtown Richmond's economic transformation, we have been there every step of the way.

​

Some of the bigger initiatives we’ve had the privilege of participating in are the Virginia Biotechnology Research Park, Dominion Energy Center and the Riverfront and Richmond's Canal Walk master plans. The impact of these projects can be seen in the significant increase in investment downtown and the city’s growing tax base.

​

Another transformative, multi-year project we have served as a leadership role in is the Community Development Authority, which works in partnership with our Mayor, City Administration and business leaders to redevelop 6th Street Marketplace into a revitalized area with new hotels, residential units, streetscapes, transportation options like increased parking and bus transfer stations and a new concert stadium to continue Richmond’s growth as a must-see travel destination.
