Henrico will formally invite developers to express their interest and vision for an arena-anchored development on property that includes the former Best Products headquarters, along interstates 95 and 295 and East Parham Road.
Officials plan to issue in late April a formal solicitation known as a “request for interest” (RFI) for a major development opportunity centered around entertainment and tourism. Interested parties will then have 45 days to respond with submissions. A committee, which will include representatives of the Henrico Economic Development Authority and the Henrico Sports & Entertainment Authority and other officials, will review the proposals before forwarding a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
Henrico is taking these steps for the Best Products site after a development team was unable to complete its purchase of the 93-acre property and deliver its vision for a more than 200-acre mixed-use development known as GreenCity. The county’s repurchase of the land is expected to be completed by April 15.
