RICHMOND, Va. -- A proposal by the city to add more emergency shelter beds at the Salvation Army’s headquarters on Chamberlayne Avenue is being met with pushback from business owners in Richmond’s Northside and a threat of legal action.

Opponents of the proposal, which is part of a larger plan to enhance services for the homeless in the city and increase year-round shelter capacity, include members of the Chamberlayne Industrial Center Association and other residents and business owners.
