このコンテンツについて
Residents in Virginia Beach have scored a notable win this week as a federal judge ruled that cases challenging our local voting districts can be reopened. This development comes after months of debate and gives citizens a renewed opportunity to have their voices heard in how our city government is structured. Over at City Hall, we’re watching closely as the Planning Commission has unanimously recommended approval for the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia’s rezoning request. This move paves the way for a much-needed new headquarters right here in Virginia Beach. If City Council gives a green light, the new facility will not only double the Foodbank’s capacity but also add community gardens and walking trails, blending their mission with neighborhood wellness. With local hunger on the rise, Foodbank leaders say this new hub can’t come soon enough.
If you were out and about yesterday, you probably noticed just how much rain we got. Flash flooding caused some roads across the city, including stretches near Lynnhaven Parkway and Newtown Road, to become impassable for a few hours. The National Weather Service expects more scattered thunderstorms today, so if you have plans outdoors or are heading to the oceanfront, keep an umbrella handy. Highs will hover in the upper 80s with humidity well above seventy percent and strong afternoon storms possible. It looks like this unsettled pattern sticks around for the weekend, so event organizers are keeping a close eye on the skies.
On the housing front, City Council has also approved an outreach campaign on affordable housing. This follows findings from last year’s study reflecting the urgent need for more accessible options across neighborhoods like Kempsville and Bayside. For those job-hunting, the local unemployment rate remains steady at around four percent, but the surge in warehouse and logistics positions tied to new business developments near Corporate Landing Parkway is opening up dozens of new roles.
In real estate, listings remain tight, but we’re seeing average homes in the Little Neck and Red Mill areas selling within two weeks, often above asking price as demand stays strong.
Culturally, something special is brewing. The city is kicking off a year-long project chronicling America’s 250th anniversary, with a focus on our local history dating back to Revolutionary times. And on the music scene, anticipation is building for Pharrell Williams’ Something in the Water Festival, with several pre-events scheduled for Town Center this weekend. If you’re into local sports, Cox High School’s girls’ soccer team just clinched the state semifinals, bringing pride to our school community.
The community also finds ways to give back. A Virginia Beach rescue team recently deployed to Texas to help flood victims, showing once again our city’s strong spirit of service beyond state lines.
On the public safety front, police report that the city remained relatively quiet overnight, though they remind us to use caution around high water, especially after yesterday’s floods.
