Draft Plan

City of Norfolk, together with the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority, residents, property owners, businesses, churches and other interested parties, is in the process of creating a plan for the Saint Paul’s Area.  Given the location of this area, there is an opportunity to both build on current momentum and successes and create an exciting new development, as well as address the needs and opportunities of current residents.  This effort is being facilitated by a team of consultants, led by Goody Clancy, together with Zimmerman/Volk, ZHA, Clark Nexsen and Abt Associates. 

The draft plan is now available for review.  Click here to download.
