Iconic Quick Lunch restaurant first to get Hopewell's new development loan

The city of Hopewell is launching a marketing and financing strategy to encourage repurposing vacant commercial buildings into viable business opportunities, and the first beneficiary a $75,000 loan is an iconic city restaurant. In a statement Thursday, Nov. 12, the Hopewell Economic Development Authority said the programs, called Hopewell Sites Ready Marketing and Sites Ready Property Activation Loan will "encourage private investment, and create new opportunities for business development throughout the city." The marketing program is a free and voluntary incentive through which properties will be promoted on Hopewell's website and social-media channels and be included in city recruitment efforts locally and nationally. It is designed to put local properties on the radar of potential buyers and investors. The loan program provides financing at rates determined by the EDA on a case-by-case basis. It would help finance renovations, structural repairs, site preparation, infrastructure upgrades and any other vital necessities to get the property up and running. “The strong partnership we have built between City Council and the Economic Development Authority over the past several years is producing meaningful results for Hopewell,” Mayor Johnny Partin Jr. said in the statement. “Through improved collaboration, shared priorities, and a unified vision for our

Richmond's bakery boom brings two more sweet additions

Ready your sweet tooth and stop counting calories, Richmond has a fresh batch of bakeries. Why it matters: There's no such thing as too many cookies, cakes and bread — for any city. State of play: Jane Dough , a pop-up turned brick and mortar, opened last week on MacArthur in Northside. The shop is from baker Jane Lukas, a culinary school grad who started baking during the pandemic before moving to Richmond, per Style Weekly . Once settled here, Lukas started baking in her converted garage and selling her bread and pastries at Dorey Park Farmers Market and Celladora last year, quickly developing a loyal following. On the menu : Jane Dough's signature sourdough loaves ($10-$12), focaccia ($7-$8.50), croissants ($7.50-$8.50) cookies ($3.50) and rotating pastries. Fun fact: True to Richmond's form, the bakery has been selling out quickly in its opening days, so go early. What they're saying: "We really appreciate the love the community has been showing us," Lukas tells Axios. If you go: Jane Dough is open 7am-2pm, Thursday through Sunday at 4029 MacArthur Ave. More of those gorgeous Jane Dough loaves.
