ADVOCACY

WCA monitors local planning and development issues, shares relevant information with members, and works to ensure neighborhood perspectives are part of decisions affecting Westhampton.

Code Refresh

Richmond is updating its zoning ordinance through Code Refresh, a citywide initiative that will shape future land use and development.

WCA follows this process, reviews proposed changes affecting Westhampton, and helps residents stay informed about opportunities to provide input.

Special Use Permits

WCA monitors Special Use Permit (SUP) applications affecting our area and shares relevant proposals with members. When appropriate, we engage with residents, developers, and city officials to communicate neighborhood feedback and encourage thoughtful development.

Other Neighborhood Issues

Our advocacy extends beyond zoning and development to issues affecting everyday life in Westhampton, including traffic, pedestrian safety, walkability, infrastructure, and the area’s distinctive village-like character.

We work with city representatives, local organizations, and residents to share information, raise concerns, and encourage thoughtful solutions.

Have a neighborhood concern? We welcome input from members and residents.
