"We are absolutely delighted to have Eventmakers-USA at River City Sportsplex; it is precisely what is envisioned as part of the ongoing planning and investments in the Genito/288 corridor,” said Christopher Winslow, Chair, Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors. “By attracting complementary uses, we have an immense economic opportunity to capture additional revenues at our hotels, restaurants, and gas stations. And most importantly, we are enhancing the entertainment experience for visitors and county residents. We want to exceed what one comes to expect from a First Choice Community, and this is incredible progress toward accomplishing that goal."
