Due to the current condition of the Norfolk Fitness & Wellness Center field, and the most recent weather forecast that calls for rain all day Friday and Saturday, the decision has been made to postpone the planned Clean-up until Saturday March 9th.
Again, we look forward to you help and support in this endeavor, and we hope that postponing the event for more favorable conditions will encourage everyone and participate in helping to keep this public space in the best condition possible.

On Wednesday, January 23, 2019, the City of Norfolk, Virginia, sold $133,695,000 in General Obligation (G.O.) Capital Improvement Bonds on a competitive basis using Grant Street’s MuniAuction online open auction platform. Bank of America Merrill Lynch won the bonds submitting the bid with the lowest True Interest Cost (“TIC”) of 3.51%. As a result, the City’s total interest cost decreased by $4.35 million.
This financial victory can be attributed to our most recent post noting the strength of the City’s underlying credit ratings, which are Aa2, AA (positive outlook), AA from Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch Ratings, respectively.
