Powhatan Planning Commission to consider industrial development on 43 acres
Minutes from Tuesday's meeting of the Powhatan Planning Commission list a proposed industrial park that would be built on a 43-acre site near the Powhatan-Chesterfield border.
Cross Creek Development Corp. is seeking to rezone the site from its current agricultural (A-10) designation to light industrial (I-1). The site is located on the north side of Anderson Highway near Oak Ridge Business Park.
A specific development vision was not included in the zoning application and related staff reports. Conceptual plans show four development pads and his one vehicle access to Anderson Highway.
I-1 District entitlement uses include warehouses, medical facilities, entertainment facilities, self-storage operations, automotive operations, data centers, restaurants, and other uses.
Applicant agrees as a condition of offer that typical rights uses on I-1, such as massage clinics, wood and stump recycling operations, auction facilities, and fire training facilities, will not be permitted pursuant to the application.

$17 million Clayton Road project continues in Henrico
Work on Henrico's Clayton Road Improvement Project between Laburnum Avenue and Sandy Lane is moving toward a 2025 completion date.
The project will construct a new four-lane divided road with curbs, gutters and sidewalks on both sides, and will also realign the intersection with Dabbs House Road. The project will also eliminate potentially dangerous curves and reduce the potential for flooding, the county said in an update.
The two-year project is expected to begin in March 2023 and cost $17 million. Work began with a $14 million contract signed last year with Glen Allen-based Abernathy Construction Corp.
