[Jean-Frank Dorvil]

Hey everyone,

I was just introduced to the Petersburge VA market and it looks like it would be a good area to invest in especially for school housing being right outside virginia tech. DSoes anyone have any insight into the area?

Thanks

@Evan Hooks I live in richmond but i work throughout the hopewell/ colonial heights/ richmond area... the unfortunate thins about hopewell is how much of the local economy depends on Advan6 (the large chemical plant)... My main concern would be that because they split off from honeywell a shutdown could cripple the already struggling financial situation in the area. Most of the town center is dead from what ive seen although there have been a few new local businesses popping up in the last year or two, so you could say things arent 100% grim... If you would like to discuss the area more shoot me a message, as of right now im not aware of any meetup groups in the area
