About The Project —
“It is not the honor you take with you, but the heritage you leave behind.”— Branch Rickey
The Arthur Ashe Boulevard project seeks to rename a major traffic artery running through the heart of Richmond, VA. Connecting charming, historic neighborhoods with thriving commercial and residential hotspots, the Boulevard is poised to promote new growth and opportunity for all citizens of our diverse city. Anywhere can have a boulevard; only Richmond can truly claim Arthur Ashe.

ARTHUR ASHE —
Global citizen. Humanitarian. Richmonder.
