Semmes/Cowardin/Hull Neighborhood Node Plan

Per Resolution No. 2025-R007, city departments are working to prepare an amendment to the Richmond 300 Master Plan that identifies the Semmes/Cowardin/Hull small area as a Neighborhood Node. The area has experienced considerable growth in recent years and greater attention is needed to ensure this area reaches its full potential as a Neighborhood Node and gateway to Southside.

The Semmes/Cowardin/Hull Neighborhood Node Plan will establish a community-led vision and primary next steps for the area, develop a streetscape plan for the major corridors, identify necessary roadway improvements to advance traffic and pedestrian safety, and consider creative ways of increasing mixed affordable housing and appropriate commercial uses within the node.
