Norfolk, Virginia is a
city of more than 234,403 residents and more than 100 diverse neighborhoods.
It is the cultural, educational,
business and medical center of Hampton Roads, hosts the world's largest naval base, the region's international
airport and is one of the busiest international ports on the East Coast of the United States.
The city is
undergoing a successful renewal, including new office, retail, entertainment and hotel construction downtown,
new residential development along the rivers and bay front, and revitalization projects in many of its
neighborhoods. Norfolk has added thousands of new residents to its downtown – turning it into a vibrant,
lively place to live, visit or work. A light rail route through the heart of downtown is scheduled to
open in late 2010.
