A new neighborhood focused on a multi-use waterfront park

Fort Norfolk will become a new, mixed-use waterfront neighborhood, rich in character, containing diverse housing and employment options along with supporting uses. The neighborhood will accommodate expansion of the adjacent Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, as well as other commer-cial development, through the creation of a new office cam-pus along Brambleton Avenue. The environment around the historic Fort Norfolk, for which the district is named, will be improved with trails, a visitors center, and a public space to provide the Fort with a more prominent and dignified setting and increased public accessibility. The primary pub-lic focus of the new neighborhood will be a new waterfront park , promenade, and anchorage for boats and ships. Streets and walkways will lead to the waterfront, which will remain public and accessible to all.
