What Do You Think of the Revitalization on Route 1?
New businesses, apartments and the widening of Richmond Highway are all a part of the revitalization of Richmond Highway.
The revitalization of Route 1 is slowly taking shape as multiple construction projects continue to crop up on the main highway in Alexandria.
Some businesses that are now calling Alexandria home include yogurt shops Sweet Frog and Zinga and next year, the community will have a new restaurant in City View Brewhouse.
Other additions include Fordson Place, Beacon of Groveton, Costco and the Insight Huntington Metro apartments across from Penn Daw shopping center.
More businesses are expected in the future and most importantly, the widening if Richmond Highway will begin soon.
And even more is going on along the Route 1 corridor with VDRPT and AECOM conducting a multimodal transportation alternatives analysis for the busy highway.
