DOWNTOWN DOCKET
What's happening in Downtown Hopewell, VA.
Latest News!
We are ready to tackle 2018, and we hope that you'll join us for the ride! For us, January is full of planning what's to come for the rest of the year. We're busy planning our Third Thursday summer events series, Butts to Broadway BBQ competition, Small Business Saturday and Light Up the Night events. We are also gearing up for a great year of development and growth within the downtown district!

New Businesses!
Legacy Roasting: You may have seen Legacy Roasting Company at one of our Third Thursday events with their awesome cold brew coffee tricycle. Soon, they will have a permanent space to roast their coffee in Downtown Hopewell! Check out this  Progress-Index article for more information!

Saucy's BBQ: Saucy's Hopewell location is now hiring! Take your resume to the Petersburg location to fill out an application. The Hopewell location is expected to open soon!

Guncotton Coffee:  We know you've had to wait a long time for this one! This project started off a couple years ago and included the revitalization of one of our most blighted buildings in downtown. Now housed in one of the most beautiful buildings downtown, Guncotton Coffee has installed the new equipment and hired a manager.  There are just a couple more things to do before they open but we expect you to be able to sit down with a fresh cup of coffee very soon!

We also hope to announce 3 other new businesses opening downtown within the next 6 months! Stay tuned to our social media and website for opening dates for all of these new businesses!
