Virtual tours of downtown Richmond are here

Why it matters: The tours were created to help promote economic development opportunities in Richmond and let outsiders see how cool our city is, Venture marketing director Erika Gay tells Axios.

Yes, but: Anyone can use them.

Zoom in: The tours highlight eight neighborhoods from Manchester to Jackson Ward and Shockoe Bottom to Monroe Ward.

• Users can see all of the city's ongoing residential and commercial projects, zoom in on downtown venues, restaurants and tourist attractions and even see project and business details.
• Plus, the projects and businesses are continuously updated, so locals — or outside investors — can see Richmond's constantly changing landscape.
