Developed to begin addressing the threats to Norfolk’s resiliency, the Ohio Creek Watershed project included the design of approximately 2,000 linear feet of shoreline to protect from future flooding, while expanding connectivity and water management improvements. The project was also the first of its kind to include an Environmental Impact Statement required by HUD in Virginia.
VHB’s Kimberly Blossom shares her experience working on this project alongside the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, various state agencies, citizens, and the City of Norfolk.
