Columbia Drive

Restoration Project – August 2020

Scope of Work

The Columbia Drive Restoration Project, located in the James River Commerce Center, will provide repairs and improvements necessary for acceptance of the road by the Virginia Department of Transportation. The project will include stormwater structure repairs, asphalt repairs, concrete V-ditch repairs, and other work required by the State. Under the current circumstances, a potential buyer of the available industrial property fronting Columbia Drive would be responsible for maintaining Columbia Drive as a private road, making the properties less attractive to industrial prospects. Furthermore, any potential subdivision of the available property is limited by the fact that Columbia Drive is not yet a public street, as County Code requires subdivided parcels to have access to a public street.
