Not even a month on the job, Richmond City Mayor Dwight Jones speaking at Venture Richmond's [ www.venturerichmond.com ] annual breakfast held at the Jefferson Hotel located in downtown Richmond, Virginia. The breakfast was held Thursday morning, January 29, 2009.
Current Chairman and CEO of Venture Richmond, C.T. Hill [also President and CEO of SunTrust Bank Mid-Atlantic and member of Mayor Jones' Transition Team] introduced the mayor and revealed in his comments that Mayor Jones had previously served as Chairman of Richmond Renaissance. This is relevant for the uninformed because Venture Richmond was formed by the merger of downtown booster groups Richmond Renaissance, River District Alliance, Riverfront Development Corporation, and CityCelebrations on July 1, 2006.
Mayor Jones touted cooperation with the region and with City Council. He showed some visualizations of what the city could look like if we follow the city's Master Plan which included a Jackson Ward near the Convention Center with trees, and adding landscaping to the flood wall.
