Gone are the days of ‘ineffective and inefficient’ governance. Gone are the days of unfulfilled potential. Gone are the days of honoring division. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Despite a global pandemic, paired with social and economic upheaval, we are experiencing much more than a comeback. As you heard tonight, our city is roaring back! — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Folks, we have a problem in this country: we have too many damn guns! I agree with the sentiment of Acting Police Chief Rick Edwards, if there was just one thing that our community could do to help make our streets safer, it’s to always LOCK. UP. YOUR. GUN. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Over the past year, Operation Red Ball made 235 felony arrests and 167 misdemeanor arrests. And @richmondpolice removed over 1,000 illegal guns from our streets. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
An ‘Air Traffic Control’ for officers in the field. Using cameras and other modern tech, RTCCs have the ability to maximize the efficiency and speed of investigations. Real Time Crime Centers are a force multiplier, helping lock up violent offenders and locate illegal guns. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
I’m thrilled to announce we’ve received a $750K grant from the Commonwealth to launch Richmond’s first Real Time Crime Center. @RichmondPolice — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
In the coming months, we will finalize our plan of action, which will not only focus on building, preserving, and protecting homes, but on creating SUSTAINABLE homeownership opportunities for families, through down payment assistance programs and financial empowerment education. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
I have tasked my admin, working with the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority (@VibrantRRHA) and other community partners, with the goal of creating 2,000 new homeownership opportunities for low-income Richmonders by 2030! — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Sprout Schools provide full day, high quality early childhood education for children age two months to five years – regardless of income. This new school will be able to serve an additional 60 kids, and I cannot wait to celebrate its opening this summer! — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Using a $250K allocation from our Children’s Fund, we are partnering with the @YWCArva to help open a new Sprout School in the Oregon Hill neighborhood. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
I remain committed to supporting our kids throughout their journey from babies to adulthood. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
I have directed my Office of Children & Families to lay the groundwork for what we’re going to call the Pathways Program. With an initial investment of $1.5M this year, we will pilot a program that supports @RPS_Schools grads to and through community college, beginning this fall. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Being the first person in my family to graduate college was a big deal for us, and my Dad was the main reason that happened. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Thanks to the great success of the Richmond Resilience Initiative, we have allocated $250K to the organization “Help Me, Help” You to launch a new guaranteed income pilot program for returning citizens. It will be the first of its kind in the Commonwealth of Virginia! — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
(My father) was a former offender, a returning citizen who had a felony on his record. My dad had countless doors slammed in his face when he was looking for work. But he never quit. He’s one of the reasons I’ve always been such an advocate for second chances. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
This step along with our investments in the Shockoe Heritage Campus proves that Richmond is finding a better way forward. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Well, it’s time that the truth be told. Which is why I’m excited to celebrate that we’re investing $11 million in grant money from the Mellon Foundation toward telling that forgotten story. The largest philanthropic grant in Richmond’s history! — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
For more than 150 years, the story of Shockoe remained largely untold. It was literally paved, built over, and abandoned by generations of Richmonders that preferred not to confront our painful past. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Over the last six years, we’ve taken a hard look at our community, and taken decisive steps to address our past, our present, and our future. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Look, I know that paving isn’t sexy. But it damn sure makes a difference. In 2019 just 35% of Richmond roads were considered in ‘good’ condition. Last year we took that number up to 64%! — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Since I took office, we’ve invested $70 million into road improvements. Last year, we improved more than 200 miles of streets. We repaved Broad and Main streets. And we repaved the Gilpin community for the first time in 30 years! — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
From the Diamond District in Greater Scotts Addition to the City Center Redevelopment Project downtown. 💼 2,237 new jobs. 📑 536 new business licenses. 🗃️ 670 commercial business permits. 📊 And over $550 million in capital investment. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
I am proud to say that last year was our most successful economic development year, yet. Richmond is growing. And we’re doing so with equity and inclusion in mind. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
We will continue to make Richmond a GREAT city, filled with opportunity and justice for ALL generations to come. A Capital of Compassion. A city where all can thrive. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
We will fight relentlessly for stronger gun safety laws, advocate against any attempt to restrict access to safe and legal abortions, and stand up to hate in all its forms. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Today Richmond is FREE OF CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS. Our past is no longer leading our present. Now we are leading our future. A future that includes all Richmonders, no matter the color of their skin, whom they pray to, or whom they love… and we will protect them all! — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Business is booming. Our financial house is in order. Our streets are cleaner and our communities safer and healthier. In our quest to be the best city we can be, Richmond is winning, and our work continues. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
Our great city has seen population growth, economic growth and cultural growth. We have more tools at our disposal than ever before. We have more programs and resources. We have more community and accountability. We’re becoming a more efficient and effective government. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney
My fellow Richmonders, standing before you tonight, I see a city thriving. A city filled with promise and hope – a city filled with maturity and purpose. — PolitiTweet.org
