Richmond Proceeds With Public Art Fee
The Richmond City Council is expected to adopt on July 11, 2017, a 1 percent public art fee on commercial and residential development despite the city's depressed real estate market. Richmond permitted 25 residential units in 2016 and only 2 in the first four months of 2017. As proposed, private commercial developments valued at $500,000 or more and residential projects with 10 or more units must spend at least 1 percent of the project's value installing public art onsite or pay the city an in-lieu fee.
