Richmond's next Scott's Addition could be on this new Opportunity Zone map

Could the next Scott's Addition be in South Richmond, Henrico or Chesterfield? Federal officials have approved 17 new Opportunity Zones across the region, offering the same tax incentives that helped finance Scott's Addition's building boom. Why it matters: The program has helped attract millions in private investment to targeted Richmond neighborhoods. Now a new slate of communities could get the same financial boost. State of play: The 17 new zones across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover are among 153 approved statewide, Gov. Spanberger announced Friday . They take effect Jan. 1, 2027. They'll join 22 tracts designated in the region in 2018. Tax benefits for those original zones, which include Scott's Addition, remain in effect through 2028. Zoom in: Richmond had 11 original zones and landed eight new ones, including Monroe Ward, Gilpin Court, areas around Virginia Union University and large stretches of South Richmond. Chesterfield's new zone is around Chesterfield Towne Center, where a major renovation is planned. Henrico's five zones include parts of Lakeside and East Highland Park, plus a large swath of eastern Henrico near the airport. In Hanover, one new zone includes part of Ashland. How it works: The federal program, created during President Trump's first

Richmond Marathon 2026 road closures: What's new this year

Drivers: Plan ahead. The sold-out Richmond Marathon will bring over 21,000 runners and widespread road closures to the city Saturday, with some restrictions starting Thursday. Why it matters: This year's new race routes mean changes to which streets close and for how long, according to organizer Sports Backers. What's changed: All three races have new starting locations along Broad Street, while the finish line moves from to Fifth and Byrd Streets instead of near Tredegar. The 8K will take a more direct route along Broad while half-marathoners will follow a new stretch of Hermitage and Princeton Roads. Also new: The full marathon sold out faster than ever, with all 7,200 spots claimed by June, per Sports Backers. The closures: Fifth Street between Bragg and Byrd will close Thursday at 6pm while additional stretches close Friday at 10am and noon. All reopen Saturday at 6pm. Newly listed Saturday closures include Seventh and 10th streets, Brown's Island Way and Princeton Road, with varying hours between 4am and 6pm. Zoom in: Other affected roads include Broad Street, Monument Avenue, Arthur Ashe, Brook Road and Forest Hill Avenue. The bottom line: If you're not running or cheering someone on, maybe move your car to

Richmonders are paying to crash strangers' weddings

Hundreds of Richmonders are signing up to crash people's weddings. Why it matters: They're willing to pay to do it — and the happy couples actually want them there. That includes the bride and groom of a Richmond-area Haitian wedding this weekend, where $70 buys dinner, an open bar and dancing to Kompa and reggaeton. The 30 seats for crashers have already sold out. The big picture: The unlikely matchmaking is part of a platform called " Not a Wedding Crasher, " which launched in March to let strangers pay to party at other people's weddings and has taken off on social media . San Diego-based Jeff Besen and his wife Karina dreamed up the concept last fall when they realized they wanted to dress up and attend a wedding — but lacked an invitation to one, Besen tells Axios. Besen says the platform has since spread to roughly 25 to 30 states, with some guests flying across the country to crash weddings. Sunday's celebration is the sixth in Virginia alone, following weddings in Roanoke , Farmville , Leesburg and Culpeper in just the past few months. The appeal: Crashers get an unconventional night out and potentially new friends while
