RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR)- Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones is remaining tight-lipped about his plans for a new baseball stadium.

Speaking at an awards ceremony for city employees on Monday, Jones told CBS 6 he’s not yet ready to discuss any proposals regarding a new stadium in Shockoe Bottom as part of a private economic development project.

A recent poll conducted by CBS 6 News, however, revealed that a majority of people would prefer to see the baseball stadium remain on North Boulevard.
