Damn I hope this thing goes to ODU. Would be so stupid otherwise.

As soon as I hear anything or it's made public, I will post it.

As a homeowner of the west side, I hope it goes through ODU. Also, the people who are more likely to use it live on the west side of the city. But development is a major factor and there are a lot more opportunities on the east side of the city.

I think that's debatable. there is a ton of opportunity along 26th and 27th streets between monticello and hampton blvd. that whole area could be transformed. Good luck getting developers to try to convince people that military hwy area is getting better when if you look around. Its clearly not.

It's not that debatable. You're talking about maybe 10 city blocks, with a lot of it either being industrial or residential. Military highway offers miles of development in an area that doesn't have the flood risks the west side presents.

Developers are already building there too. Sentara is building their cancer center at Sentara Leigh. The outlet mall is right off military on Northampton. Ikea opens next year. There have been a lot of smaller projects on Military from the area of Lowes to Home Depot.

JANAF is also going to be redeveloped.
