Richmond is booming and reading updates like this from McCormack’s where there is such a negative and direct impact on operations, revenue and opportunity is concerning.

From the McCormack’s Irish Pub Facebook page:

This is an example of the failure of the city of Richmond.. Its sunny and 50 degrees at 11 am on a Monday in December and there are zero workers here on this block.. Haven’t been any for weeks actually. This site looks exactly the same as it has for 3 weeks. How the hell does the city expect our businesses to survive when they took 160 parking spaces from us in an area desperately needing parking and leave what looks like a bombed out crater for months with ZERO progress happening?

Reading this reminds me of an article posted from Richmond Bizsense where developers met with numerous and long permit delays from the city.
