In a 2004 bond referendum approved the sale of bonds beginning in 2010 to provide half of the cost of the center, with the other half to be raised through private donations to the Chesterfield Center for the Arts Foundation. Since the arts center is so convenient to the residents of Chester Village Green, the CVG News hopes that our residents will be especially generous in their financial support. Send contributions to: Center for the Arts Foundation, 11801 Center St., Chester, VA 23831. Phone: 748-5555.
