It is time to focus on our creative class and build a front door to RVA where creative technologists, makers and civic innovators can work out of collaborative spaces to incubate new ideas and build new businesses, build things in tinker garages, enjoy an indoor farmers market, have access to tools from a community tool shed and be part of a true sharing economy. Cities like Denver, Nashville, Raleigh, Chicago, & DC have their own versions of innovation hubs-- and now it is time for RVA to have theirs too.

Please sign this petition to help support the GRTC bus depot becoming the epicenter for creative technology and civic innovation so that we can continue to have a city that thrives on the ingenuity of it's people. We will leave this city better than we found it and step up to be come the true capital of Virginia that we were always meant to be.

With signatures from the community, we will be able to demonstrate interest that will allow us to approach GRTC, policy makers, the City of Richmond, & corporate and private partners to help raise funds to transform the GRTC bus depot into a home that will make us love Richmond even more than we already do.
