RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — More than two years after construction began for an affordable housing project in the Southside of Richmond, the site remains unfinished and unused.

Oscar Romero, owner of ZOD Painting spoke with 8News outside of the construction site for Brady Square off Lynhaven Avenue. He said every time he drives past the 14-acre site he is reminded of the thousands of dollars he was forced to leave behind him.

“I can see my money is sitting here, you know, nobody say anything,” Romero said.

Romero said for the past 14 years his painting and drywall business has been a successful venture for his family. He said he signed on with out of state developer Dakota Partners to complete drywall and painting in the units. • (Photo: Jakobi Davis, 8News) • (Photo: Jakobi Davis, 8News
