We've come a long way since the '70s and '80s, and we would like to keep progressing. The office of Sustainability for the City of Richmond has outlined a plan to keep the James River and other open spaces in Richmond green, healthy and livable. As part of the RVAgreen: A Roadmap to Sustainability, the city has outlined the Richmond Riverfront Plan, the James River Park Conservation Easement and Green Space Along the James River as priorities in the coming years. Learn more about the plan by visiting the city's sustainability site.
