A new City Council policy is opening the door for new appointments to the Richmond Slave Trail Commission.
After blocking applications for more than a year, the council’s Land Use, Housing and Transportation Committee is now accepting applications from Richmond residents for the 16 vacancies.
Only eight seats on the commission are now filled and all by people, including its chair, Richmond Delegate Delores L. McQuinn, who are ineligible for reappointment under the new policy that bars individuals from serving more than eight consecutive years.
To apply: Alexander Rawles, (804) 646-4089 or Alexander.Rawles@richmondgov.com.
