Suburban Acres, Restmere and Talbot Park have all -The Suburban reported incidents. It appears that these violators are walking and driving around looking for opportunities and casing the neighborhoods. In order to reduce this type of crime, listed below are a few suggestions made by the Norfolk Police: Make sure that you keep all doors and windows locked at all times. Do not open doors to strangers; especially if they are solic- iting something. If you have an alarm system, use it. If it’s broken, fix it. If you see something suspicious, strangers going door to door or unusual activity, please call the police with good and accurate information. Call 911 first and when you get the chance, please notify Neighborhood Watch Coordinator Ray Henson at 753- 4679. -From www.wardscornernow.com Virginia Native Plant Society sales this spring The South Hampton Roads Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society is hosting two spring plant sales featuring more than 200 species of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees, ferns, grasses, and vines. The first is Saturday April 9 from 10 am to 4 pm at the Francis Land House at 3131 Virginia Beach Blvd. in Virginia Beach with free admission and parking. The second is Friday and Saturday May 6 and 7 in conjunction with the Mother’s Day Weekend Event at Norfolk Botanical Garden, 6700 Azalea Gar- den Road in Norfolk. Regular Botanical Garden admission rates apply for the sale, which will be held from 9 am to 5 pm both days. Native flora play specific roles in local ecosystems and are adapted to local conditions, making them less likely to need ex- tensive maintenance since they are resistant to drought, insects, and disease. Use of native plants in landscaping helps reduce the need for fertilizer (and fertilizer runoff) and watering. 4 The Suburban Civic League and Community News For more news and events visit our website at www.suburban23505.com Norfolk neighbors call for help with homeless tent problem This article and photo was posted on WAVY TV’s web site on February 8th. The article, and accompanying video report can be found at www.wavy.com. Reprinted with permission. It appears homeless tent cities, like the one WAVY.com un- covered in Virginia Beach are more prevalent than you might think. On Tuesday, a viewer called to report tents in Norfolk, and we sent a crew to check it out. These tents are in the Suburban Acres neighborhood off Tidewater Drive and I-64.

    NORFOLK ® OPPORTUNITY ZONE PROSPECTUS N O R F O L K V I R G I N I A - I N V E S T M E N T P R O S P E C T U S 1 WELCOME For more than 300 years, Norfolk has served as the cultural and economic heart of Hampton Roads, mixing ideas, connecting people, creating new experiences and new businesses, and powering the growth of a region that is home to 1.75 million people and a real GDP approaching $84 billion. One of America’s oldest global trade destinations, Norfolk has been transformed into a global center for international security and coastal resilience. We are home to Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval base, and NATO’s only headquarters in North America. We also serve as a national leader in health care, transportation, higher education, and visual and performing arts. Norfolk is investing in transformative projects that will enhance our assets, foster inclusive economic growth, and develop talented and motivated residents. In 2018, we launched the transformation of the St. Paul’s Area, which will reshape three public housing communities that encompass more than 200 acres near our thriving downtown. Investments in the people, physical infrastructure, and anchor institutions that are native to this area are helping us to attract new businesses and entrepreneurs that will drive regional productivity and growth. The neighborhoods of the St. Paul’s Area are just one example of the 16 qualified opportunity zones, the most of any city or county in the Commonwealth of Virginia, that we hope you will consider for investment.

The Conference allowed for municipalities to share how they are leveraging the program within their communities. Regional Advocacy: The Hampton Roads Planning District Commission held a meeting with legislative liaisons from throughout the region to discuss joint advocacy ahead of next year’s General Assembly session.

The group will continue to meet over the summer months and into the fall to assist in forming the region’s 2020 legislative priorities. Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization: The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) met this week to receive updates from our transportation partners.
