Richmond, VA – State officials have announced that the following grants will redevelop the 39-acre Seafood Industrial Park dock in the city of Newport News and renovate the historic Riverview Theater in the city of Norfolk.
The General Assembly allocated $1.5 million in Port Host Communities Revitalization Fund grants through 2023.
This money will assist with the removal, renovation, or modernization of port-related buildings and facilities in Virginia’s five port host communities: the town of Front Royal, and the cities of Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Richmond.
Governor Glenn Youngkin released the following statement:
“Revitalizing derelict structures will not only stimulate job creation but also act as a driving force for fresh economic prospects in these port host communities.
Through the Port Host Community Revitalization Fund, our investment is a step towards enhancing our infrastructure, bolstering our economy, and enhancing the lives of Virginians.”
