East End Solar Meadow Project

The City of Richmond is considering a project to repurpose the capped landfill located at 3800 East Richmond Road into a solar array and pollinator meadow. The City operated a landfill on this site from the 1960’s until September 1983 when it was closed and capped. Today the site operates as a service center for green waste and woody debris. With limited potential uses, the capped landfill presents an opportunity for the City to develop a renewable energy generating solar farm.
