The new EDA office at Springline at District 60
The event included tours of Chesterfield Economic Development's new space — a new office, in a new building, within a new development. The Alliance described the property at Midlothian Turnpike and Chippenham Parkway as the front door to Midlothian and to the county as a whole, and flagged for members that this was not the EDA's old address at Iron Bridge and Route 288. The office sits within Springline at District 60, a new mixed-use urban village and gateway development combining places to live, work, shop, play and stay.
