Better transit access, crucial water management upgrades and facility infrastructure improvements are just a few of the interesting capital projects people can explore without leaving the comfort of their home.

The City of Richmond’s popular Capital Projects Highlights showcase has gone digital, providing a convenient online method to view the many on-going and upcoming capital projects taking place across the City.
