What (and Who?) Is RVA Design Coalition?

We put people, not construction, first. We are neighbors throughout the City who expect zoning to support Richmond's commitments to the Richmond 300, Climate Equity Action Plan 2030, and SolSmart goals. We want equitable solar access for all to achieve Net-Zero by 2050. Learn more here!

RESCHEDULED: City Council Dec. 15!
