Henrico County Government highlighted national attention on its latest housing initiative in a series of posts on September 8, 2025. The tweets included remarks from U.S. Senator Mark Warner and Center Creek Homes CEO Dan Magder, emphasizing the county’s efforts to provide affordable homes for families.
Senator Warner praised Henrico County’s project, stating on September 8, “Your county is doing as innovative a project as anything I’ve seen, not only in Virginia, but in the country,” Warner said. “People in the housing industry across the nation are looking at you.”
In another post that same day, Center Creek Homes CEO Dan Magder addressed the design of new residences: “the homes in Pemberton Row will be built with families and multigenerational households in mind.”
Magder also commented on the challenges of providing affordable housing and the importance of partnerships: “Builders need partnerships to deliver affordable homes, especially in a high-opportunity neighborhoods where land costs are higher,” Magder said. “Partnering with the AHTF can ensure families at a range of incomes can access a good home and good schools in this area.”
