DUMFRIES, Va. -- As development plans go, the City of Norfolk’s is as highly detailed as any.
The plan, called planNorfolk 2030, outlines which types of development and buildings are desired in each of the city’s 21 neighborhoods. The guide also outlines which neighborhoods should remain urban, which ones will see more mixed-use development with a mix of new retail stores and new homes, and which ones should remain largely suburban with single-family homes lining the streets.
Come north to the much smaller, 1.6-square mile Town of Dumfries, and leaders here say there is much redevelopment that needs to be done. One of those elected leaders, Councilman Charles Brewer, wants to adapt Norfolk’s plan as a sort of guide for the future of redevelopment in Dumfries.
