RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- The Richmond City Council is slated to vote on whether or not to include funds to establish a new shelter for Richmond Animal Care and Control (RACC) in the city's budget for fiscal year 2024-2025 during its meeting on Tuesday. During the meeting, which will take place at 6 p.m. on Nov. 12, city leaders will discuss whether or not to approve the ordinance transferring $2 million from the Richmond Department of Public Works' Commerce Road Improvement Project to establish the proposed RACC Adoption Center. If approved, the funds would be used to purchase a building at the 2300 block of West Cary Street in the city's Fan District. Patrons for the funding include Mayor Levar Stoney, Kristen Nye -- president of the City Council -- and Reva Trammell. The ordinance was previously recommended for approval by the Richmond City Planning Commission on Oct. 1. RACC has continued asking Richmond residents for their support for the new shelter -- which it says would allow for more animals to be housed -- since the proposal was announced, including asking supporters to attend Tuesday night's meeting.
