Since the 1970’s, the City of Norfolk has been quite disciplined in its approach to downtown planning. Every ten years, a new planning process brings together the country’s best urban planners in collaboration with the community at large. The result is a ten-year plan that, because of a careful setting of priorities, is achievable. The plan, strategically builds upon the successes of previous plans, becoming a framework for future development. And because of the community’s involvement, there is a great sense of community commitment and ownership.

The City of Norfolk is currently working on the Downtown Norfolk 2020 Plan and the community’s input is once again being sought. Please follow the links below to see a PowerPoint presentation of the thinking to-date regarding the plan. Links also take you to the questions being asked by the City of Norfolk. You may respond to the questions and return via email or feel free to download the questions and fax them to us. In either case, we will be certain that the City of Norfolk receives the information.

Thank you for your interest in the Downtown 2020 Plan and thanks for being a part of the planning process.
