  • Richmond City Council has approved a permit to construct a museum and community center in Jackson Ward, and it approved nearly $1 million in funding for the project.

The article from Richmond.com discusses the JXN Project's initiative to restore the historic Skipwith Cottage in Jackson Ward, Richmond. The project, led by the JXN Project, aims to preserve the cottage, which was built in 1890 and is one of the last remaining structures from the neighborhood's early days. The restoration efforts are part of a broader goal to revitalize Jackson Ward, once known as the "Harlem of the South," by maintaining its historical integrity while fostering community development. The project has received a $100,000 grant from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources to aid in the restoration, focusing on repairing the roof, windows, and exterior. The initiative not only seeks to preserve the physical structure but also to honor the cultural and historical significance of the area, promoting it as a vibrant, inclusive community space.
