Hooray for Rural Varina

Hats off to the Henrico Board of Supervisors for voting to preserve rural farmland in eastern Henrico County. It’s not that we oppose development, but rather that we support smart, well-planned development that preserves the unique character of our communities. Route 5 serves as an important gateway into our city center and its scenic beauty is such a treat for tourists and Richmonders alike. It certainly would be a shame if it became a victim of urban sprawl due to overdevelopment. So as you enjoy your dinner tonight, think of the Varina farmer and be grateful that your local produce may have come from just down the road rather than from across state lines.
