My point is, is that the state should be giving some of our money back to this region...They take a lot from this region but put very little back into it. The money is grossly mismanged as well.

This is more of a organizational reason... Think about all the different topics in Norfolk and Vabeach and trying to merge them together. Now try and go through all of them to see whats happening in each city

We shouldn't run away with our tails between our legs. We've been bullied by the state for far too long! We need to take a stand against this crap! So we tax 1/2 cent on gas now something else comes up and we need more money. Then we are taxed again for the exact reason we were before, and then again and again. When does it stop???? When do we get some of money back that this region generates? NO MORE BULLYING FROM THE STATE

Why should we have to continue to tax the crap out of us here when we give so much now as it is to the state? Its already too expensive here and why because of the state BS! We need to change this crap! The state is the exact reason why this region is choked off! Why is it when Richmond doesn't need roads they still have the money!!!!!!! Nova should get a great deal towards its roads. And we should be second in funds for the roads. The state owns the ports and cities get no real estate taxes off of them so they raise the taxes on us. Taxing is not the answer.

For the life of me, I can't understand why our reps let us get screwed year after year with state funding. Why are they not standing up for this region?

that really doesn't surprise me! The sad thing is that they want us to pay for the roads. Why don't the state us the money its getting from the state owned port facilities to fund the roads....its one of the main reasons we have the congestion.

The state really screws this region. We need to get better reps up there in Richmond. They sure do take a lot from here but never want to give any back!

Go Mcdonnell!

I might try to get over there tomorrow after work

First, we have to have the jobs here to support these types of urban developments. We have to do better in attracting higher paying jobs here. Kansas City has a lot of higher paying jobs and we don't. I think the region needs to do better in attracting jobs here instead of stabbing each other in the back....Light rail will help some but there has to be changes in our leadership....We need to become a educational hub for this state. I just don't think that we will see stuff like that until we have jobs to afford that type of lifestyle

Yep that is the Fort Norfolk development....all you have to do is google that area and its right at the Ft Norfolk plaza development

today is only the 19th!

Just like the footers for traffic lights! Poured a many of them

Like Vdogg said it was on church street...it was suppose to be built across from the post office

probably not....the are just setting feasible goals for the future

Well thats up to people like us on this site to change that. We can't talk bad about the area unless we try to make this area better

All these tax plans were for something but end up being snatched for other things. This is the exact reason people voted against the 1 cent tax raise before. Do you notice they will not put any wording that will not allow the money to go to other things? Good luck getting all cities to accept the tax that might not benefit as much as other cities.

What makes you think that raising taxes is going to help anything? They can't even manage the tax money that they are getting now.

density isn't height.

It's been financed with debt ever since the creation of the federal reserve

Good luck dude!

I heard additional parking. I asked them if they were going to build a swimming pool and basketball courts and they said they didn't want the "basketball" crowd there. I was a little disappointed in that answer

We have the exact train that Charlotte is using
