The City of Newport News Economic Development Authority maintains numerous parking lots in the downtown area. A variety of parking spaces within those lots are currently available for lease on a monthly basis, and additional lots are available with daily use fees. The EDA is seeking to make parking downtown more convenient for citizens and guests while generating modest revenue for the city. These parking lots serve Newport News Shipbuilding employees, members of the military, contractors, and citizens who either work or visit the downtown area. Citizens interested in leasing monthly parking spaces can visit the Department of Development on the 3rd floor of City Hall at 2400 Washington Avenue. For more information on parking and available lots, call the Department of Development at 757-926-8428.
