"Two years after Mayor Dwight C. Jones pledged his support for First Fridays Art Walks, city officials say enforcement of city code restrictions might soon be &amp;ldquo;stepped up.&amp;rdquo; Last week Richmond&amp;apos;s arts and culture illuminati got a peek at Jones&amp;apos; long-gestating plan to establish a downtown arts and culture district. Amid talk of microloans for ailing businesses and funding for building facade improvements, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Peter Chapman said that city code enforcement in the district will be &amp;ldquo;vigorous.&amp;rdquo; The proposed 65-block district is dotted with 60- to 100-year-old buildings, some of which are &amp;ldquo;visually and statutorily&amp;rdquo; in violation of code, Chapman says."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
