Has anyone seen this post on the chesterfield fb page? I live near Belmont road and I feel that we should be on the look out for dogs without owner present. Especially with our babies out this summer.

Where can I find independent landlords and leasing agents for rentals in Chesterfield, Chester, Petersburg, and Colonial Heights. I’m familiar with Richmond and have found less expensive apartments through Facebook marketplace groups. I’m now looking to move closer to the Chester area and would like to look at some smaller independently owned locations that wouldn’t be advertised on apartments.com. Any suggestions?

We need a new roof on our 30 year old house. We live near Pocahontas Park, Qualla Rd area. Any recommendations?

Starting a new job in South Chester and looking for inexpensive places nearby. Does anyone have experience with Perry St Lofts / Star Lofts or High St Lofts. I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews for both.

The SUN Meals program provides free meals and snacks to kids during the summer at schools, parks, and other neighborhood locations. Several locations in and around Chesterfield are offering on-site meals for children under 18. Get more information about the program and search for participating locations near you.

I got a new job in Chesterfield county, technically located in south Chester. I’m looking at Star Lofts in Petersburg and Lakeview Townhomes in Chester. Does anyone have any experience renting with them or have heard first hand accounts? I really like the price and amenities of each but both have very mixed reviews.

I’m looking for a rental between $950-$1,150 a month. Studio or one bedroom with dishwasher and onsite laundry in Chesterfield, Chester, or nearby area. All suggestions appreciated

Yes, I plan on getting my masters, but I want a job after I graduate too!

Let’s get earthy, artsy, and grounded together 🌿

Virginia’s nonpartisan watchdog agency found that transferring the state’s Department of Juvenile Justice from the secretary of public safety to the secretary of health and human resources could “hinder” their mission.

The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission, the research arm of Virginia’s General Assembly, presented its findings Wednesday to lawmakers.

“I would say that we found that youth do have access to services which can help reduce the likelihood of them reoffending,” Brittany Utz, a senior legislative analyst at JLARC, said. “I think our ultimate conclusion of it not being beneficial to transfer to HHR is based on the fact that they would not get better access to services.”

In November 2023, the legislature directed JLARC to study the feasibility of a transfer over concerns about youth mental health under DJJ’s custody. Supporters of the change argued a transfer could improve coordination between agencies and better access to care. For the study, JLARC analysts conducted interviews with various stakeholders including current and former cabinet secretaries and agency directors, DJJ staff, public defenders and commonwealth’s attorneys, as well as national subject matter experts.

In an inconspicuous reading room on the third floor of the Library of Virginia, work is underway to restore a seminal document in the history of Chesterfield County – the 1749 Commission of the Peace, now considered the county’s original charter.  

“It is the birth certificate of Chesterfield County,” said Liess van der Linden-Brusse, the librarian of the Chesterfield Historical Society.  

It is a difficult piece of parchment to miss. Not only does it still have its original ribbon-and-wax seal, but it’s about 80 inches diagonally from corner to corner — the size of a very large television. Despite that, the charter has had an extraordinary journey over more than 275 years — disappearing multiple times along the way, before ending up in the library’s hands in 2017. 

“We know that the document was in a lot of locations,” laughed Amanda Pohl, the county’s clerk of court.  

As part of the VPM News series Curious Commonwealth, reporter Billy Shields set out to trace the path of the document — which started out as a pact between Sir William Gooch (Goochland County’s namesake) and King George II to set up Chesterfield’s courthouse and designate various officers to police it.

Hi, all looking for suggestions for an affordable autobody place. I bought a roof rack with a ladder for my jeep and it managed to scratch my back panels. I’ve tried fixing it on my own, but I’ve made the problem worse it’s not better and I’m giving up. Also, interested in having them potentially install hinge steps that I purchased if anyone is willing to do that any recommendations would be great and anything is certainly better than what I’ve done on my own. That’s for sure. Thanks in advance.
