Dave Lawrence/The Local Gov. Ralph Northam took part in last week’s groundbreaking ceremony of the new Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Authority headquarters and distribution center in Mechanicsville.

Governor: new ABC facility will keep state ‘on the cutting edge’

MECHANICSVILLE – While construction work on the site proceeded in the background, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam cited the economic importance of the Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Authority as he and others officially broke ground on the new VABC headquarters and distribution center off Pole Green Road.

The new facility, which will replace an outdated property near The Diamond in Richmond, will allow VABC to improve its ability to supply Latest technology will be provided at Pole Green Road location

nearly 400 stores throughout the state.

“We’ve had the building in Richmond for a number of years,” Northam said on Tuesday, Feb. 4. “It’s outdated. In order to keep up with this business, you’ve got to stay on the cutting edge. You have to use the latest technology. This new building in Hanover County will enable us to do just that.”

VABC CEO Travis Hill touted the development potential the new facility brings. He praised Hanover County for its willingness to be a part of the authority’s future. “We’re marking the beginning of changing where we work and how we work. This facility is the key to us continuing to grow revenue for the commonwealth,” Hill said. “We’re thrilled to be calling Hanover County home soon. We plan to be here for decades and will be a partner with the county going forward.”

Northam said the authority brings critical revenues to the state coffers – more than $2 billion over the past five years, according to VABC – which benefits education, transportation, public safety, and more.

“ABC operates 386 stores and is on track to open one HILL

store a month over the coming year to provide excellent service and selection to consumers while generating revenues that support programs that benefit all of us,” he said. “This new facility will give ABC the space it needs to continue to operate as a modern retailer.” According to VABC, the Richmond facility, which opened in 1971, is now operating at 100 percent capacity, shipping as much as 30,000 or more cases of distilled spirits a day.

The Hanover facility, which is constructed on a 40-acre site, will house a headquarters building and a warehouse.

In addition to an entrance off Pole Green Road, another road will be built to connect the facility to AMF Drive.

“Hairball” is a series of vignettes related to hair.

The middle school cast will be performing its show earlier in the day as well as for the annual Hanover County One-Act Play Festival, held in Richmond.

Student director Brooke Foster said she considers “Hairball” a terrific vehicle for middle-schoolers to gain ensemble-acting skills and engage in creative collaboration. “We decided together which segments to spotlight, and because the students each play multiple roles, they got a lot of experience with character building,” she said.

Make this Valentine’s Day One She’ll Remember!

HANOVER -- An iconic residence in Hanover County is getting a second life thanks to the approval of rezoning and Conditional Use Permit applications approved last month by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

Hometown Realty applied for the adjustments to transform a residence commonly known as Oaklawn, the Patrick Family homestead located off Shady Grove Road, to the local company’s Hanover headquarters.

The applicants had hoped the approval also would permit the company to operate an event venue on the 13-acre site, but residents from neighboring Garrison Manor expressed concerns regarding the event venue portion of the application.

The applicants planned to offer the property for special events like weddings and community events at night and on weekends, hosting up to 250 guests with live music in the rear portion of the property

Todd Rogers, co-owner of Hometown Realty, said he heard the collective objections from those neighbors and asked board members to approve only the portions of the application that would permit the operation of an office for the second largest realty company in Central Virginia. “The thought we had was taking the existing structure and modifying it slightly so we could use it as an office space,” Rogers told the board during a public hearing last month. “We’ve had several conversations with neighbors and it seems like we’re butting our heads a lot with the venue space.”

Residents of the neighboring community expressed

a number of concerns at a November community meeting, citing excessive noise, operating hours, light spillage, use of alcohol, and number of events.

Following that meeting, the applicant offered proffers addressing those issues that included limiting the number of events and hours operation and banning amplified music after 8 p.m. during the week. Even with the concessions, adjoining neighbors said the event venue would have a drastic effect on the lives of their families with many of their bedrooms adjacent to the Oaklawn rear yard.

Emily Davis, a mother of two and Garrison Manor resident, said she had no issue with the office use.

“Our issue with the CUP is the event space,” Davis said. “The events that are being applied for are at the core of this. We are just concerned parents who are trying to protect the well-being of our children.” She expressed her appre

ciation for Hometown’s desire to preserve the property, but added, “There are other options for this property that would not be so intrusive for our family and children.”

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the CUP and rezoning requests regarding office use, but denied the venue application. “Moving forward, we’d certainly like to get the office space going,” Rogers said after several neighbors expressed concerns regarding the venue space. “We’re thinking about the venue space now, because we’re trying to be a good neighbor and good business partner.”

Rogers said Hometown is willing to take another look at the venue proposal and offer more conditions followed by a second review by the Planning Commission “if we decide to pursue that.”

“Our intent is to try and do something unique with this property — not to tear down the house and build who knows how many houses there,” Rogers said. “We’ve been a community partner for 31 years and Hanover County is our home base and we want to make that our headquarters.” While he said he’s committed to the possibility of making further adjustments in order to make the event venue more palatable, Rogers conceded there seem to be challenges that can’t be resolved. see HOMETOWN, pg. 13
