Saint Paul's Area Plan
| 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.
