we immediately recognized the potential for this site,” said Cooper Carry representative Abbey Oklak . “People want fun, activity- oriented destina- tions, and this has the poten- tial to be a central gathering place for the county.” The project, which is consis- tent with the County’s Compre- hensive Plan, will be construct- ed in multiple phases. The first phase will include residential apartments, commercial space, restaurants, an office building, a festival-like common area and a large sports tournament and entertainment venue. The second phase will add
townhouses, more commercial space, another office building, entertainment venues, and an expanded central festival square. “As the private development interests in this property are zoned and sold by the EDA, the remaining county investment is for the relocation of a nearby police precinct to a much more visible and accessible location and consolidation of a new school board office to best maximize student space and programs at the Chesterfield Career and Technical Center,” said County Administrator Joe Casey .
