Breaking: After months of citizen opposition to the proposal, the Chesterfield EDA's board of directors has voted to withdraw its application to rezone 1,675 acres of residential property in south Chester for development of an industrial megasite. https://t.co/ddqTJh5fbf

A megasite meltdown? On Friday, Speaker Kirk Cox dropped his support of the proposed Chester megasite. Now, state Sen. Amanda Chase is calling for Chesterfield EDA board members to withdraw their rezoning application and resign. https://t.co/SKsKlGR5Lm

Yeah, I think this is called "Supply Chain" in manufacturing circles. Wooded land with country lanes is "premier manufacturing spot on earth" according to EDA. #whosfoolinwho? #nomegasite https://t.co/3LlbIQcL2V

[ChesterfieldObserver @CfieldObserver]

Standing in the way of the planned Chester megasite is a zoning ordinance prohibiting heavy industry next to residential areas. Chesterfield's EDA says the language in the ordinance is obsolete, given how how manufacturing has evolved. https://t.co/h2EaOYfJJM

State Sen Chase on FB: EDA's are unelected & not directly held accountable by the people they represent. I stand with 1000s of homeowners who bought their properties under the current residential zoning and oppose this Matoaca Megasite which should be called the Bermuda Megasite.
