May 28, 2003

Dear Fellow Hampton Citizens, Businesses and Organizations: In January of 2003, the City of Hampton, Hampton City Schools, and numerous community partners initiated a broad based process to review and update both the existing Hampton Strategic Plan (1998) and the Hampton Comprehensive Plan (1989). This effort aims to take a fresh look at what major directions our community must take in order to achieve our vision of "Making Hampton the most livable city in Virginia." These documents serve to set many of the key directions that will guide both public and private sector actions for many years to come. It is with great pleasure that we present to you the preliminary results of the first phase of work associated with the update to Hampton's Community Plan. This work represents the efforts of numerous Hampton residents, business representatives, social and civic representatives, representatives from not-for-profit organizations, and local and regional government representatives. We invite you to review this document and attend one of the many community discussions being held throughout the city during the months of June and July. Based upon community feedback, the work presented in this document will be modified to reflect common themes and issues raised by the community. Beginning in the Fall of 2003, the City of Hampton, Hampton City Schools, and its community partners will embark on Phase II of this process. Phase II will focus on identifying specific strategies and action items that will carry us toward our identified vision and goals. During the last decade and a half, the City of Hampton has had a proud and productive history of engaging all facets of our community in the development of Hampton's major planning policies. Our community has been nationally recognized as a model for effective community participation. We encourage each of you to get involved and be a part of this heritage. You may send your comments to us via the attached comment sheet or you may choose to attend one of the many community forums being held in various locations through the months of June and early July. This information is also available on the internet at www.hampton.va.us/community-plan. If you would like to become more involved in our Community Plan process, please contact our Planning Department at 727-6140. We all look forward to receiving your comments and suggestions.

Sincerely, Sincerely, Sincerely,

Superintendent City Manager Chairman, Hampton Hampton City Schools Hampton, Virginia Planning Commission

A strong business environment is the backbone of a community. Jobs and private investment fuel the local economy and also provide the resources that pay for many community services and quality of life projects.

To be successful in creating and sustaining a favorable quality of life, we must make sure that our youth grow up healthy, happy, well-educated and committed to strengthening our community.

Healthy neighborhoods are places where people enthusiastically invest their time, money and energy - places where people want to be.

The families who make Hampton their home depend upon a strong school system to provide exceptional learning experiences within quality school facilities.

In order for Hampton to become the kind of city we all want it to be, we must make sure that every young person has the opportunity to grow up in a caring community in which young people are viewed as partners and valuable community resources.
