Council to vote on redistricting at next meeting

Richmond City Council will hold a public hearing and vote on the 2011 Richmond Decennial Voter District Redistricting District Boundary Plans during their scheduled meeting on Monday, November 14, 2011.

The two proposed plans include: Richmond City Council Ordinance Number 2011-184, that was introduced by The Honorable Ellen F. Robertson, Gateway 6th District, and Richmond City Council Ordinance Number 2011-185, that was introduced by The Honorable Charles R. Samuels, North Central 2nd District.

The only difference between the two proposed District Boundary plans (in addition to changes to the existing Richmond Voter Districts) is that the plan introduced by Councilman Samuels would move a portion of the Monroe Ward Neighborhood (in downtown Richmond) out of the North Central 2nd Voting District and into the Gateway 6th Voting District. Both plans propose adding a chunk of Shockoe Valley and Shockoe Slip to the existing 7th District.
