A new plaza proposed for the city-owned Low Line Green that runs along the Capital Trail on the riverfront will not bear the name of Dominion Energy.

Mayor Levar M. Stoney on Tuesday withdrew legislation to make that happen.

Last week, City Council’s Land Use, Housing and Transportation Committee balked at the proposal.

According to a city document accompanying the proposed ordinance, Dominion Energy proposed to provide about $740,000 to a nonprofit called Capital Trees to pay for landscaping and future maintenance to develop the plaza in the 1700 block of Dock Street.

The proposal called for the plaza to be named “Dominion Energy Garden at the Low Line Green.”

The Low Line runs from the Canal Walk to Great Shiplock Park beside and beneath the CSX railroad tracks. The Low Line used to be a scraggly area of weeds on the land untouched by the Capital Trail, a cycling and walking trail linking Richmond and Williamsburg.

In 2014, City Council authorized the Three Chopt Garden Club and Capital Trees to replace the weeds with flowers and other landscaping. The city contributed $200,000 to the beautification effort that was valued at nearly $1.3 million.

Capital Trees first proposed in 2018 to improve the area in the 1700 block of Dock Street and won support from City Council. Capital Trees found Dominion Energy willing to support the plan and requested Mayor Stoney to introduce the paper.

It is not clear whether Dominion Energy will pull its support for the project as a result of the rejection of the naming rights.

Capital Trees appears committed to moving forward with its plans and to seek other partners if needed.
