This home will be on display at the Home Show in November at the Pavilion in Virginia Beach and then presented to Jonathan. We are still in need of many building materials and services to be able to bring this dream to reality for Jonathan. He and many other young men and women have given their all for us – here’s our chance to give a little something back!!

9/9 Public Meeting Re: Preservation Plan

CSBTS has not taken any position on this proposal yet.  Citizens are welcomed to comment at the 9/9 meeting:

Virginia Beach City Council to Hear Public Comment on Proposed Housing and Neighborhood Preservation Plan

 

Virginia Beach City Council invites interested members of the public to comment on all aspects of the proposed Virginia Beach Housing and Neighborhood Preservation Plan (the Plan) at its regular formal session on Tuesday, September 9. The Plan is a report of recommendations to preserve, renew and enhance the homes and neighborhoods in Virginia Beach and to enhance neighborhood character.

 

Developed by the Planning Commission Subcommittee on Preservation, the Plan provides recommendations that address a collaborative process for neighborhood preservation and improvement on an ongoing, sustainable basis. It also addresses the types of tools that could be implemented to promote and provide incentives for the voluntary improvement of housing.

 

The full Plan can be found on the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation’s Web page at http://www.VBgov.com/housing, by selecting “Virginia Beach Housing and Neighborhood Preservation Plan” under “Hot Topics.”

 

City Council will vote on whether or not to adopt the Virginia Beach Housing and Neighborhood Preservation Plan on September 23. For more information, please call Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation Director Andrew M. Friedman at (757) 385-5752 or Housing Program Coordinator Lanitha Hudson at (757) 385-5734
