  • Capital Improvement Program
    FY2021-25 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 21PROGRAM CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY2021-FY2025 Chesterfield County, VA 1 FY2021 – FY2025 CIP Executive Summary FY2021 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview Chesterfield County, in accordance with state code and the County Charter, prepares a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP, revised annually, is a long-term planning tool that guides the design, financing, construction, and maintenance of public infrastructure. In addition, the CIP forecasts any operating costs associated with each project. Upon adoption of the CIP, funds are appropriated for the first year of the plan. The funds shown in years two through five of the plan are included for planning purposes and are reevaluated and appropriated with the adoption of each respective fiscal year’s budget. The County’s CIP is divided into three main project categories: General Government, Schools, and Utilities. The general government category includes functions like public safety, transportation, parks, and libraries. The Schools section highlights projects within the Chesterfield County Public School System, while the Utilities category provides details on capital investments to the County’s water and wastewater infrastructure. FY2021 – FY2025 Program Highlights • The FY2021-2025 CIP evolved from a $352.7 million five-year plan in mid-March to a $331.7 million plan at adoption due to the strategic measures taken to reduce spending County-wide as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reductions occurred in year one of the plan as the County reduced pay-as-you- go funding and shifted programmed referendum funding to future years. • The CIP maintains a targeted focus on the care and maintenance of existing infrastructure and the communities they support.

  • Chapter 2 Yeardley's Fort (44Pg65)
    CHAPTER 2 YEARDLEY'S FORT (44PG65) INTRODUCTION In this chapter the fort and administrative center of Flowerdew at 44PG65 are examined in relation to town and fortification planning and the cultural behavior so displayed (Barka 1975, Brain et al. 1976, Carson et al. 1981; Barka 1993; Hodges 1987, 1992a, 1992b, 1993; Deetz 1993). To develop this information, we present the historical data pertaining to town development and documented fortification initiatives as a key part of an overall descriptive grid to exploit the ambiguity of the site phenomena and the historic record. We are not just using historic documents to perform a validation of archaeological hypotheses; rather, we are trying to understand how small-scale variant planning models evolved regionally in a trajectory away from mainstream planning ideals (Beaudry 1988:1). This helps refine our perceptions of this site. The analysis then turns to close examination of design components at the archaeological site that might reveal evidence of competence or "mental template." These are then also factored into a more balanced and meaningful cultural interpretation of the site. 58 59 The site is used to develop baseline explanatory models that are considered in a broader, multi-site context in Chapter 3. Therefore, this section will detail more robust working interpretations that help lay the foundations for the direction of the entire study. In short, learning more about this site as a representative example of an Anglo-Dutch fort/English farmstead teaches us more about many sites struggling with the same practical constraints and planning ideals that Garvan (1951) and Reps (1972) defined.

  • Government in Jamestown, 1619
    GOVERNMENT IN JAMESTOWN, 1619 LEVEL Elementary GUIDING QUESTION What did the English government look like at Jamestown in 1619? VIRGINIA STANDARDS AND HISTORICAL SKILLS SOL: VS. 3d Analyzing and interpreting primary sources, analyzing the impact of geographic features; organizing information LESSON OVERVIEW 1619 was a year of many firsts for the Virginia colony, including the first legislative assembly held in English North America. This initial meeting of the General Assembly convened in the choir of the Jamestown church and consisted of the governor, his Council, and elected representatives from all of the settled areas of Virginia. The assembly marked the beginning of representative government, based on English law and political institutions, in what is now the United States of America and is the antecedent of today’s Virginia General Assembly, the oldest legislative body in English America. In this lesson, students will explore the first meeting of the General Assembly in August 1619 as an example of representative legislature by 1) identifying the burgesses and locations they represented using a map of the early settlements, and 2) working in groups to analyze the primary source, “Laws Enacted by the First General Assembly of Virginia.” MATERIALS “Guardians of Jamestown, 1619” video clip: “The First General Assembly Meeting in Virginia” Map and Map Key: Towns, Plantations, Settlements, and Communities in Virginia, 1607-1624 Student Worksheet: Participants of the First General Assembly Meeting at Jamestown Excerpts from the “Laws Enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia” P a g e | 2 PROCEDURE Warm up/Staging the Question 1. Discuss with students: If we wanted to decide on new rules for our school, how could everyone have a voice without all of the students in our school sharing their ideas? 2.

    TRABAJO DE FINAL DE GRADO EN TRADUCCIÓN E INTERPRETACIÓN TREBALL DE FI DE GRAU EN TRADUCCIÓ I INTERPRETACIÓ Departament de Traducció i Comunicació TÍTULO LA FUNCIÓN DE DOS MUJERES INTÉRPRETES EN LA COLONIZACIÓN EUROPEA DE AMÉRICA: MALINCHE Y POCAHONTAS Autora: Marina García-Granero García-Consuegra Tutora: Dora Sales Salvador Fecha de lectura: junio 2021 Resumen: Desde casi el comienzo de nuestros tiempos, existieron personas que desempeñaron la labor de mediar entre diferentes pueblos y culturas durante siglos. La colonización europea de América puso de relieve la necesidad imperiosa de la figura de la mediadora intercultural como pieza clave de la construcción de la historia, cultura e identidad del Nuevo Mundo. Esta impresionante labor lingüística e intermediaria es lo que me ha llevado a dedicar mi TFG a dos valientes mujeres intérpretes que marcarían un antes y un después en la historia del continente americano y sus relaciones con Europa: Malinalli y Matoaka, más conocidas como Malinche y Pocahontas. Los objetivos principales del presente trabajo son introducir la vida y la labor de estas dos mujeres durante la colonización europea de América y que el presente trabajo de investigación sea una aportación a la historia de la interpretación y una forma de contribuir a dar a conocer la huella de las mujeres en la historia de la humanidad. Se describen de forma breve los orígenes, cultura e infancia de ambas figuras para poder comprender mejor el porqué de sus acciones. También se observa en qué consistían los desafíos y la labor de la mediadora cultural entre colonizadores e indígenas y qué ocurre con Malinche y PocahontasPalabras una vez clave finaliza/ Paraules su tarea.

  • Visit Citie of Henricus in Chesterfield County
    COUNTY May 15, 2010 CONNECTIONS Imagine it is 1611 You are one of 300 settlers led by Sir Thomas Dale to build the Citie of Henricus, a settlement that the Virginia Company of London hopes will become the principal seat of the colony, replacing the unhealthy environment of Jamestown. You leave Jamestown to travel 80 miles up the James River and begin to build the city named for the eldest son of King James I, Prince Henry. You are going into an unknown Source: www.henricus.org wilderness where there is the constant threat of attack by Indians and Spaniards who seek to destroy the young struggling English colony. Today, Henricus Historical Park is re-creating the second successful English settlement in the New World. Four hundred years ago the opportunity of property ownership by the common man was a unique concept in the world. This innovative idea combined with the development of the first English hospital, the chartering of the first college in the New World, the English home of Pocahontas, the establishment of tobacco as the first cash crop in the New World, as well as other important events that occurred at Henricus, Visit contributed to the successful permanent colonization of North America and the eventual establishment of the United Citie of Henricus States of America. Visit Henricus Historical Park and relive America's beginnings. Historical interpretation and reenactments pay in tribute to Virginia's Indians and the English settlers who carved a nation out of what was then Virginia's western frontier. Chesterfield County 5.
