Get to Know Us
From the outset of this research, the initial hypothesis was that “The current infrastructure of Hampton Roads can be retrofitted with sustainable urban drainage systems and various green infrastructure in order to connect the watershed to its larger body of water and protect the town from future hazards while promoting stewardship within the communities surrounding such areas.”
​
By extending greenspace into the neighborhoods throughout Virginia Beach, people will have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, and travel around the city without coming into contact with the highways.
