NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION STRATEGY AREA PLAN
Southeast Community
Executive Summary
In 2001, Newport News City Council and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) approved a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) Plan
for a portion of the City’s Southeast Community. The NRSA approach is encouraged by
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to promote enhanced
community revitalization efforts in a targeted area through the use of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The initial plan was developed in accordance
with HUD requirements which include consultation with community stakeholders and
identifying a contiguous area consisting primarily of low-income residential development.
In order to address these requirements and advance ongoing initiatives and plans in the
Southeast Community, the NRSA encompassed the Southeast Community
Redevelopment Area and targeted adjacent blocks. The plan was designed to run
concurrent with the remaining term of the 2000/2001 to 2004/2005 Consolidated Plan for
Housing and Community Development.
This revised and updated NRSA Plan once approved by HUD will continue to provide
certain direct benefits to revitalization efforts in the targeted area including the facilitation
of mixed-income housing incorporating housing opportunities for middle- income families
as well as more flexible economic development assistance through the local CDBG-
assisted commercial loan program. In addition to the tangible development opportunities
facilitated by the NRSA approach, this plan continues the vision for the selected area
which weaves the many positive project initiatives, both ongoing and planned, into a
stronger and more vibrant community fabric.
No revisions have been made to this plan in conjunction with
the 2011-2015 Consolidated Plan.
