Expanding Peter Paul Development Center // This architect rendering offers a view of the planned $3.2 million expansion of the nonprofit Peter Paul Development Center at 1708 N. 22nd St. in Church Hill. Gov. Terry McAuliffe joined center and community leaders Tuesday to break ground on the 5,000-square-foot addition. The five-month construction project is to begin in May. The addition will allow the Episcopal Church-affiliated center to offer tutoring and after-school services to 165 youths, up from 90 youngsters now served on site, and to increases services to 155 youths at three satellite locations. Founded by community activist John Coleman, the center has been offering programs since 1979. Today, along with low-income youths, the center offers classes and activities for senior citizens. It also serves as a twice-monthly distribution site for the Central Virginia Food Bank. Now led by Damon Jiggetts, the center is raising an additional $2.3 million to support operations, pay off debt and create an endowment.
