HRPDC and Reinvent Hampton Roads
Goal:
Advance regional infrastructure projects guided by our economic empowerment for all (equity) perspective.
Actions:
Ensure all 757 Champions are aware of and familiar with all major infrastructure improvements currently underway and planned: $5.2 billion in roadway improvements, transatlantic fiber cables, regional fiber network ring, offshore wind industry, etc.
Continue to utilize the citizen advisory committee to ensure inclusive citizen engagement to identify the next major infrastructure priorities for the entire region.
Explore major regional funding sources, building on the success of the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) and the $5.2 billion in roadway improvements across the 757.
Accountability:
Many of the major infrastructure projects going forward will account for recurrent flooding, resiliency and social equity.
