Lee Hall Area Plan

Purpose

The City of Newport News began the process of updating the 1997 Lee Hall Area Plan in 2021 and the plan was adopted by City Council on May 23, 2023. The area plan is a policy document driven by community input. Over the past 23 years, market conditions and trends have changed, as have many of the physical characteristics of the area. The objective of the area plan is to establish a vision to reinvigorate local businesses, preserve the historical character of the area, re-establish a sense of place and community, and attract new investment. As adopted, the Lee Hall Area Plan serves as an amendment to the City's One City, One Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
