Know Your Zone is a public education campaign to inform residents and visitors of the State’s new hurricane evacuation zones and their vulnerability to storm surge. To help direct our evacuation process if a major storm hits, coastal Virginia has been divided into 4 zones based on areas most likely to flood during a hurricane. Depending on the tides, storm intensity and storm path people living in one or more of the zones may be directed to evacuate. The zones are designated A through D and will provide individuals with a better understanding of whether they should evacuate or shelter at home. Learn More

CDBG Open House & Community Meeting
Please Join Us on Thursday, August 24th for a two-stage meeting to discuss the potential adaptive reuse of the former James River Christian Academy at 14353 Benns Church Blvd., Smithfield.
Isle of Wight County received a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Planning Grant to help fund a market analysis/feasibility study in cooperative partnership with the land owner to determine the best possible reuses of the 24.8-acre property, as well as structures formerly used by JRCA.
The Economic Development Department is hosting an open house followed by a public meeting to introduce the community to this project and to create momentum for stakeholder participation in the planning process. See attached flyer for details.
Call Chris Morello, Assistant Director of Economic Development, at 757-356-1969 for more information. Learn More
