NORFOLK, Va.
A developer wants to transform the downtown
waterfront here to include a new conference center, two additional hotels, an
office building, marina and seafood restaurant.
Harvey Lindsay Development, a Norfolk-based
company, pitched its $200 million plan recently in response to a request for
proposals to redevelop Waterside.
Under the proposal, the dated and struggling
facility would be a thing of the past.
In the proposal, one of five city leaders
said they've received, much of three city blocks would get a makeover and all
would connect to the waterfront through an elevated walkway with massive views
of the Elizabeth River.
A 180-room, 16-story hotel would be constructed
adjacent to the Slover Library.
