Suffolk Development news

[VAGATOR]

Suffolk is trying to do it right by concentrating growth in Northern Suffolk and redeveloping Downtown. Hopefully, those who are trying to open massive development south of downtown will continued to be thwarted.

Hotel Elliott to be Renovated

The former Hotel Elliott, now known as Suffolk Towers, has been sold and will be renovated into high-end apartments. This is good news for downtown Suffolk. It would have been nice to see it become a hotel again, but the apartment plan should be workable.

What is that development on the second page of that link?

It says Marquis a proposed development for Williamsburg intersection I64 and SR 199. I haven't heard anything about this at least that I recall.

$7.1 million trail project is on horizon in Suffolk

SUFFOLK - City recreation officials are gearing up to build an 11-mile trail for walking, jogging and bicycling on an abandoned rail line that runs from downtown to the Chesapeake line.

The estimated $7.1 million project, called the Suffolk Seaboard Coastline Trail, is part of regional trail concept that could eventually link Suffolk to Norfolk

Great. I like it.

I really hope the city can get all the owners to sell out. Looks like a great project for the DT area.

That does look like a nice development.

I hope Mr. Sheffer realize that this is a great development for the fairgrounds ,which hasn't seen any new development since the area was built back in the 1920's.This area was the center of black culture for many years until the 1980's when it began to decline due to lack of new development.This is an area of old delapidated buildings that are literally falling down.This development will include a black history museum and a park with a statue of George Washington Carver, they chose him because of his research with peanuts,and Suffolk is known as the peanut city.This development is just what we need for this once vibrant area of downtown.

I always thought downtown Suffolk was a waisted commodity. Nice too see its resurgance.

[urbanvb]

This is one huge development if it gets approved. EPilot has some great renderings but I can't get to my photobucket acct here at work to post the renderings. They could have thought of a better name though other than Hampton Roads Crossing.
