Richmond, Va Mayor and Propose First Ever Richmond Child Care and Education Trust Fund
Mayor Levar Stoney discussed his proposal for a Child Care and Education Trust Fund with Randy Wilson of the Randy Wilson Podcast at Stony Point Fashion Park. If Richmond, VA gets this casino, the annual gaming tax revenue from the destination resort and casino project will address Richmond’s early education childcare crisis. The Mayor believes that the Richmond Child Care and Education Trust Fund will make early childcare and education more affordable by providing tuition assistance, grants to certain community-based providers to improve facilities and increase their capacity, and support Richmonders who teach and care for children by providing aid and technical assistance to obtain credentials that will allow them to increase their earnings.
