Last week, the Williamsburg Economic Development Agency requested no new funding from the City Council for its Fiscal Year 2026 Operating Budget. In a letter posted on the City’s website, Adria Vanhoozier, EDA Chair, requests $110,000 from the City, the same amount requested the previous year.

In the letter, Vanhoozier writes that “Williamsburg maintains a high-quality sense of place that appeals to citizens, students and visitors. Williamsburg remains a specialty entertainment, cultural and retail center of the Historic Triangle.”
