Norfolk Virginia Downtown Area

Over the past century Norfolk's downtown waterfront area has transformed from a busy shipping port to a modern and active city.  Since 1980 the city has made many investments in the downtown area.  New facilities such as Waterside Festival Marketplace, Norfolk Tides Harbor Park, Nauticus, Half Mooņe Cruise Terminal, Harrison Opera House and MacArthur Center have attracted private investments more downtown residents.
