‘Raise the wage’ rally Naomi Isaac, right, of the People’s Justice Alliance addresses a crowd seeking an increase in the state’s minimum wage during a rally Dec. 18 on the grounds of the State Capitol. She said the current hourly minimum wage, $7.25, “does not exist without intention. Raise the minimum wage to a living wage now.” Legislation to raise the state minimum wage to $15 an hour over several years is expected to be considered when the General Assembly convenes in January. With Democrats in control of the legislature, prospects for passage are regarded as virtually certain. (Regina H. Boone/Richmond Free Press)

A “Now Leasing” sign adorns an entry to the Church Hill North development on North 31st Street off Nine Mile Road in the city’s East End. While no announce- ment has been made, the sign signals that the yearlong construction on the first phase of new apartments is coming to a close. The development was undertaken by The Community Builders of Boston in partner- ship with the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority. The site is the former home of Armstrong High School, which was torn down to make way for the new residences. The first phase was announced on Oct. 30, 2018, when work began to include 60 family units and 45 apartments for seniors at a cost of about $26 million. Work on another 70 units was begun earlier this year, and those units are in various stages of completion. The total development is to include 256 units, including a few single-family homes. The project is the first step in the overhaul of the nearby Creighton Court public housing community. Some Creighton Court residents are to be moved to Church Hill North as planning for renovation or replacement of the 504-unit Creighton Court complex continues.
