 City of Norfolk, together with
residents, property owners, businesses, churches and other
interested parties, is in the process of creating a
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 includes 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 Central Hampton Boulevard Area is defined as follows:
Colley Avenue on the east,
Colley Bay on the north, Bowdens Ferry Road and Hampton Boulevard on the
west, and
the railroad tracks on the south.
The study approach is divided into three phases:
- Setting
the Vision
- Defining
the Framework and Strategies
-
Implementation and Action Plan
 Setting the Vision (complete)
The Central Hampton Boulevard Area Study effort began in January of 2006
with the Setting the Vision Phase--looking at existing conditions in the study
area, surveying current residents, and assessing market
conditions. Numerous public input sessions were held including
stakeholder interviews and a community
meeting.
•
Defining the Framework and Strategies (complete)
The Defining the Framework and Strategies Phase kicked off in the Spring
of 2006--creating a set of
guiding principles that capture the community input and are
translated into a graphic representation. Additional input
sessions were held during this phase including a charrette and a
follow up community meeting, as well as meetings with
stakeholders.
 Implementation and Action Plan (complete)
The Draft Implementation and Action Plan has been drafted
and is in the review process. The Plan is a written document that outlines the steps
necessary to realize the Vision. The Draft Plan Phase
will include public input sessions on the plan. Work is
complete for the Virginia Department of
Transportation review (VDOT 527 Review). The Draft Plan is
available for review below:
