The VAPAF has appearantly failed in it’s most recent attempt to secure the Thalheimer’s block as the site for the VAPAC. Yesterday they attempted to purchase the land from the city of Richmond for $2M. This was rejected at Mayor Wilder’s direction based on his position that the VAPAF is not in compliance with the 2004 agreement which included this option.

The Times-Dispatch has a story and a great cartoon which sums up the situation nicely.

NBC12 is reporting that the VAPAF will hold a press conference wednesday morning, Oct. 12th.
