The Battle over Battersea…ENDS IN VICTORY!!  After 38 years on the National Register of Historic Places, the Battersea Villa and all 37 acres will be protected by a perpetual historic Easement granted to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources by the City of Petersburg!

 
People from all over the City and the Commonwealth rallied on Battersea’s behalf!
 
Battersea Inc. would like to thank all those who contacted the Petersburg City Council, wrote letters and emails, spoke at the Public Hearing, or offered their support in any manner! 
 
This is a very important stepping stone for the partnership between Battersea Inc. and the City of Petersburg.  This unanimous decision by City Council assures us that the future is bright for Battersea. We have united in hardship and will continue our union for progress!
