Central Hampton Boulevard Area
Comprehensive Plan

The fourth community meeting has been postponed.  Check back for the new date.

"Don't plan for us, plan with us."

This statement, made at a recent community meeting, sums up the community planning process.  The City of Norfolk, together with the residents, property owners, businesses and Old Dominion University, is in the process of creating a comprehensive plan for the Central Hampton Boulevard Area.  This effort is being facilitated by a team of consultants, led by Goody Clancy, together with Zimmerman/Volk, ZHA and Clark Nexsen.

The study will include strategies to revitalize and protect diverse neighborhoods, to enhance and compliment existing strengths within and surrounding the area, and to develop a partnership approach between the City, the residents, the property owners, the businesses and the University.

The study approach is divided into three phases:

1. Setting the Vision
2. Defining the Framework and Strategies
3. Implementation and Action Plans

Study Area  

Central Hampton Boulevard is defined as follows:  Colley Bay on the north, Colley Avenue on the east, the railroad tracks on the south, and Bowdens Ferry Road and Hampton Boulevard on the west.
