2nd Street Summit

The City of Richmond is hosting the 2nd Street Summit on Saturday, June 29, 2024. This interactive community meeting will bring residents, businesses, property owners, and community leaders together to discuss the future vision for 2nd Street in the Jackson Ward neighborhood and identify specific strategies that the City and community can implement to propel 2nd Street further towards that vision.

The 2nd Street Summit will include:

• A walking tour of 2nd Street led by Gary Flowers (“Walking the Ward with Gary Flowers”) beginning at 9am at the Maggie Lena Walker Statue and Memorial Plaza.
• Interactive small group activities beginning at 10am at The Speakeasy at The Hippodrome.
• And a dynamic illustration session to conclude the meeting.

The insights gained from this interactive community meeting will ultimately be incorporated into the Jackson Ward Community Plan and will guide the success of 2nd Street for years to come.

Please register prior to this meeting. For more information, please visit our website at www.rva.gov/planning-development-review/jackson-ward.
