I Support the Cultural Stewardship Plan

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Planning Commission

As a Richmonder, I believe that our city’s unique historical and cultural assets are vital to the people who live and work here, and part of what makes our city special. I think that the Cultural Heritage Stewardship Plan is a necessary first step in identifying, recognizing, and protecting Richmond’s distinctive character; providing policy recommendations to help us balance new development with the equally important goal of protecting existing communities and our distinctive built environment. I urge the Planning Commission to vote for its approval.

Thank you for your attention.
