Norfolk starts $2.6B project to build floodwall and pump stations, facing community concerns.

Norfolk is set to begin a $2.6 billion flood mitigation project, with the first phase focusing on building a floodwall and pump stations between Berkley Bridge and Campostella Bridge. Funded mostly by the federal government, the project aims to reduce flood risk but has faced criticism over concerns about views and property values. The design will be revised based on community feedback and must be approved by the Army Corps.
