ABOUT VIRGINIA: TRI-CITIES, VA

Tri-Cities, Virginia is also known as the Tri-Cities area or the Appomattox Basin. This is an area within the Greater Richmond Region, which includes the three independent cities of Petersburg, Colonial Heights, and Hopewell. Additional unincorporated communities found in the Tri-Cities area include Ettrick, Fort Lee, and City Point. City Point, a formerly historic incorporated town, was annexed and became part of the City of Hopewell, Virginia. Portions of the adjoining counties of Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, and Prince George are also considered part of the Tri-Cities area. Tri-Cities, VA area is located in south central Virginia about 25 miles south of the Virginia's state capital of Richmond, and is centered on the Appomattox River, which has its confluence with the James River near historic City Point in Hopewell.

The Metropolitan Statistical Area for the Tri-Cities area is Richmond, Virginia. Economic diversity is typical of the entire Richmond-Petersburg region, and helps to insulate it from hardship due to economic fluctuation in particular sectors of the economy. The region's central location also allows it to benefit from growth in other regions of Virginia and the state as a whole.

Many locations in the Tri-Cities, VA area have names that reflect the region's role in the American Civil War. The history of the Battle of the Crater can be viewed in Petersburg National Battlefield Park and is commemorated in nearby 'Crater Road’. Fort Lee is named after Civil War Hero Robert E. Lee.

Fort Lee is a United States Army post and headquarters of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM), U.S. Army Quartermaster Center and School (QMCS), the Army Logistics Management College (ALMC) and the U.S. Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA). A U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) unit, the 49th Quartermaster Group (Petroleum and Water), is stationed here. Fort Lee also hosts two Army museums, the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum and the U.S. Army Women's Museum. The fort is named for Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The presence of military personnel in the Tri-Cities area is quite significant.

Petersburg is the largest of the three incorporated cities in the Tri-Cities group. Like many cities in the United States, Petersburg has sought to revitalize the dilapidated and crime-ridden reputation of its downtown area by promoting its arts scene. In the 1990s and 2000s, several areas including the "Old town" area, have seen the remodeling and renovation of abandoned buildings into loft apartments and eclectic restaurants. In 2004, the Shockoe Bottom Arts group moved from downtown Richmond to downtown Petersburg.

The Tri-Cities, VA area is served by several hospitals, John Randolph Medical Center (a HCA Hospital) in Hopewell, Hiram Davis Medical Center of Petersburg, and Southside Regional Medical Center School of Nursing and Poplar Springs Hospital in Petersburg.

The Tri-Cities also is home to a federal prison complex called the Petersburg Federal Correctional Complex. It consists of medium and low security Federal Correctional Institutions know respectively as FCI Petersburg Medium and FCI Petersburg Low. Despite its name, the address of the Petersburg Federal Correctional Complex is actually in Hopewell.

Tri-Cities, Virginia has numerous public schools and community colleges and is home to many well known and key Educational institutions including the Appomattox Regional Governor's School for the Arts And Technology, Virginia State University at Ettrick and the U.S. Army Logistics Management College in Fort Lee.

Southpark Mall is a large regional shopping mall in the Tri-Cities area. Built in 988 at the intersection of Temple Avenue and I-95, the mall complex has expanded significantly to include many big box retailers. The mall itself is located in Colonial Heights, Virginia. This enterprise is a typical example of how these cities meld to become functionally operational and know as the Tri-Cities.
