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

Petersburg opens new park to honor local veterans

PETERSBURG − Against the backdrop of Veterans Day , Petersburg leaders and citizens gathered to dedicate a downtown park designed to honor the city's past, present and future veterans. The Nov. 11 ceremony dedicated Rotary Memorial Peace Park, a 9,700-square-foot former parking lot repurposed into a greenspace in which to relax and reflect. It is bordered by East Washington, North Jefferson and Franklin streets. Peace Park is the brainchild of Richard Taylor, a longtime Petersburg resident and civic leader who started work on it a few years ago after receiving a call from someone alerting him to the condition of the old parking lot. "It really was a labor of love," Taylor told the audience. Through the generosity of local businesses, Petersburg Rotarians and a $15,000 grant from the Rotary Foundation, the old asphalt was ripped out and replaced with soil and sod − and all done without spending a single city penny. The size of the park is 9,726 square feet. Taylor said that number was chosen for a reason. "I say 9,726 because if it had been 10,000 square feet, I would have had to apply to the federal government for a permit to get rid of [the
