The Williamsburg City Council recently held a closed session to discuss the future of several city-owned parcels along Richmond Road that have remained in a cycle of stalled redevelopment. Key sites include 906 Richmond Road, the former Tioga Motel, and the 1200-block parcels previously occupied by a Super 8 Motel. Originally purchased to spark revitalization, these properties—now valued at over $2.2 million combined—have transitioned from historic landmarks and local “eyesores” to vacant commercial land. While potential uses like Arts District galleries have been discussed, the sites remain undeveloped.
