The Colonial Heights City Council is considering leasing the former Colonial Heights Baptist Church property to Virginia State University, in spite of increasing citizen support to turn the site into a courthouse. The official plan is to lease the city-owned property at 231 Chesterfield Ave. for 18 months to VSU for $25,000 a month. The site would be used by VSU’s business school while its campus building is renovated.
