South Norfolk condo project passes (HamptonRoads.com/Pilot Online)
Nancy Levy notes that these owners may get "high octane water."

CHESAPEAKE — Despite concerns about school crowding, environmental red flags and project details that were not provided to the council until just before their meeting, the City Council voted to approve a condominium project in a predominantly industrial section of South Norfolk on Tuesday night. Mill Creek Village, a 272-unit project that will sit adjacent to a junkyard, a tow-truck manufacturer and a multi-track rail switching corridor, was approved by a 5-3 vote...A vote on a second development, Portlock Square, a roughly 30-unit project next door, fronting on Bainbridge Boulevard, was delayed late Tuesday after City Engineer Eric Martin said tests on the property detected high enough levels of petroleum products in the soil and groundwater that the results are reportable to the state Department of Environmental Quality.
