That is good news, there is so much potential with Hampton's downtown. It already has the infrastructure in place to create a great little downtown, they just need more development to give people a reason to be down there.

Interesting little read... I know a few people involved in the group of LGBT young professionals trying to kickstart this. Good, intelligent, and hard-working group that has great ideas; I'd love to see them come to fruition.
And I've always thought that Phoebus had a lot of potential, and there are good bones in the community to build up from.

NASA awarded a $42 million contract to a Maryland company to build a new cafeteria and conference center at Langley Research Center in Hampton.
Construction of the facilities, which will be under the same roof, is expected to start this spring. NASA hopes to finish work in December 2013.
It is the second phase of New Town, NASA's $330 million plan to modernize Langley, which was founded in 1917 as aeronautics research laboratory. NASA absorbed Langley at the dawn of the space age in 1958.

Wyman said New Town, which includes demolishing dozens of facilities, will address the issue. The plan's first phase — a $26 million, 79,000-square-foot environmentally-friendly office building — opened last June.
The work was performed by The Whiting-Turner Contracting Co., Baltimore, the same outfit chosen to build the cafeteria and conference center. Whiting-Turner was the low bidder among 22 companies.
At 137,000-square-feet, plans include a 230-seat theater, a balcony for outdoor dining, a full kitchen and a television studio. NASA demolished four buildings — roughly 53,000-square-feet, mostly office space — to make way for the new building.
It is expected to replace the Pearl Young Theater, the Reid Conference Center and the existing cafeteria, a 65-year-old building that underwent $360,000 in renovations last decade. All three buildings are scheduled to be demolished, though NASA hasn't determined when, Wyman said.
The third phase of New Town is a 150,000-square-foot sciences laboratory expected to cost $93 million, he said. NASA leaders approved the laboratory but they have not allocated money to build it.
