With a winter storm forecasted to bring approximately two inches of snow overnight, several city offices and facilities will have delayed openings on Wednesday morning. This decision aims to prioritize the safety of employees amid potentially hazardous conditions.
City Hall offices, libraries, and all community and neighborhood centers will open their doors at 10 a.m. However, the City Council's retreat remains scheduled for an earlier start at 8:30 a.m., taking place at the Virginia Air & Space Science Center.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed by following updates on the city's social media platforms. The 311 information center is available for inquiries within city limits by dialing 311 from a landline or calling 757-727-8311 from cell phones or outside city limits.
Public Works crews have been actively pre-treating roadways in anticipation of the storm, focusing particularly on bridges and overpasses. Emergency Management officials are closely monitoring weather forecasts and will take action as needed.
For those seeking shelter from the cold, the Night's Welcome program offers overnight accommodations through local churches. Currently, First Baptist Church at 229 N. King St. is hosting this service. The shelter operates nightly from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m., with guests required to arrive by 9 p.m.
