Government works best when residents know what's going on. This page is a place to learn about the work we're doing in Tuckahoe.
Tuckahoe Talk meetings are held regularly at the Tuckahoe Area Library and are open to the public in person and virtually. The Henrico Board of Supervisors meets twice a month, and residents are always welcome to attend in person and virtually and offer comments, or submit comments in advance.
One of the priorities we identified back in 2024 was ensuring every Henrico resident has access to the same basic county services, and refuse collection was an area for expansion.
Henrico is expanding its refuse collection service to roughly 20,500 additional residential properties, as shown in the map. The first phase launched June 1, 2026, with a second phase following in 2027. The county spent the past two years preparing by purchasing new trucks and hiring the staff needed to run the new routes, expanding a program that already serves nearly 55,000 households countywide.
Thanks to land donations from The Wilton Companies and the Lakewood community, Henrico County is moving forward with a major expansion of Tuckahoe Creek Park that will bring residents directly to the water.
The plan calls for a boardwalk and trail system running along Tuckahoe Creek from a new trailhead at Wilton Landing off Westbriar Drive, featuring a parking area, shelter, restroom, kayak and paddle launch, fishing pier, and multiple creek overlooks. The protected corridor stretches nearly to the Goochland County line, preserving one of the last large natural buffers in this part of the district.
Plans are conceptual and subject to edits.
In September 2025, we joined U.S. Senator Mark Warner to break ground on Pemberton Row, a development of 20 affordable four-bedroom townhomes off Quioccasin Road in the Tuckahoe District. The development is part of Henrico's Affordable Housing Trust Fund, which directs revenue into homeownership opportunities for first-time buyers.
Units are priced at $355,000, where the median home price in Tuckahoe has climbed close to $500,000. Senator Warner Noted, "Your county is doing as innovative a project as anything I've seen, not only in Virginia, but in the country. People in the housing industry across the nation are looking at you." Homes are expected to be available to qualifying buyers by Fall 2026.
Despite a $12.3 million drop in state aid, the Henrico County Board of Supervisors approved a $1.4 billion budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year that increased funding for Henrico County Public Schools by $25 million. Local dollars covered nearly 98 percent of that increase, reflecting the board's commitment to protecting school funding even when state support falls short.
The budget funds over 100 new positions within the school system, with the majority of new spending directed toward employee compensation and retention. The board makes it clear that supporting schools remains a priority. Keeping classrooms staffed, buildings maintained, and students supported year after year remains a priority.
Several pedestrian and roadway improvement projects have been recently completed or are currently underway across the Tuckahoe District. The roundabout on Raintree Drive was recently completed to slow neighborhood traffic. Active construction is underway on the Eastridge Road and North Parham Road sidewalks, and a new turn lane at Maybeury Drive and Patterson Avenue is in design and scheduled for completion later this year. Pedestrian signal upgrades at Pump Road and Carisbrook Drive are also moving through the right-of-way acquisition phase.
Additional projects on Derbyshire Road, Ridge Road, and Ridgefield Parkway are in various stages of design and planning, with construction windows ranging from 2027 to 2028.
