Biz Beat Roundup: New life planned for long-vacant downtown storefront
The Central Virginia Housing Coalition, Virginia Statewide Community Land Trust and Greater Fredericksburg Habitat for Humanity have applied for a rezoning in Spotsylvania County that would allow 66 condominiums as part of the Cason’s Mill project on the north side of Courthouse Road 350 feet east of its intersection with Foster Road across from Courthouse Road Elementary School. The units would appear as 33 two-story townhouse units, but the homes being offered would each be one-level condominiums. Tricord Inc. owns the 6.6 acres of land where the project is proposed, and Tricord Principal Mike Jones recently discussed the project on Biz Beat Banter. It’s part of the company’s efforts to create affordable housing in the community.
