I hope this plan will improve these neighborhoods. The ultimate solution would be to remove these apartments that house the majority of the people breaking the law in this area. If the city would do so new properties could be built and that would generate more tax revenue. I dont see what the problem is, it was done in ocean view. I go to work every day and pay my taxes while my neighbors hang out on the corner all day drinking and selling drugs day in and day out. Until thes structures that harbor this behavior are removed I dont see anything getting any better.

I built my house in Oakdale Farms two years ago and im disgusted with all the filth in the surrounding apartment buildings. The city has raised my assesment well over three hundred thousand dollars and I love them for it because with my beautiful view of apartments out my front door I cant even sell my house in this market so that I could escape this hell hole. I have two small children that have to be held prisoner so that they wont be exposed to a criminal life out of our front door.

I can’t wait to see action at Wards Corner. I used to live in West Ghent and would take the 2 to the 15 to do my shopping at Farm Fresh every Friday or Saturday. I may now be in Virginia Beach, but considering one of my cousins lives off of E Little Creek (just on the other side of I-64 from Farm Fresh), I support the Wards Corner plan.

I ask all members of the Wards Corner community: do we really want to keep in office a mayor and members of city council who only seem to care about downtown?

What’s taking the City so long to begin implementation of the comprehensive plan for Wards Corner? It’s time for the City to step up to the plate and fulfill promises made. We are a gateway to Norfolk, ODU and the naval base. Let’s not give visitors the impression that Norfolk is a city of blight. Thousands of vehicles pass through Ward Corner every day. What a golden opportunity the City has for income here!!
