This could be the first domino to spur potential development along the river.  The land is located at 533 Front St. and is the former site of the Moon Engineering shipyard.  The City of Norfolk prepared a conceptual plan in 2005 that envisioned Fort Norfolk as an "urban waterfront village."  Click here to see the plan.
