On Tuesday, the Silver Companies may announce a short list of new businesses moving into Central Park/Celebrate Virginia South during a business meeting with Fredericksburg City Council. The meeting will occur at 6pm this upcoming Tuesday in the second floor conference room.

It’s no secret that the relationship between the Fredericksburg City Council and the city’s most prominent developer has been strained since three of Mayor Bill Beck’s allies took office in July.

But the council and the developer, the Silver Cos., will try to turn over a new leaf in a get-together Tuesday night at City Hall.

They are planning to discuss the company’s plans for the Celebrate Virginia tourism development and the concern of some council members that the city doesn’t have enough control over the project.

Silver Cos. Chief Executive Officer Larry Silver also may announce the names of two hotels to be built there and the name of a company that will build a convention center on the site, according to some council members.

Short list of businesses I want to see: an Old Virginia Tobacco Company would be nice.
