What would you think if a city project had 100,000 cubic yards of smelly non-beach grade spoils dredged from other parts of the Lynnhaven Basin barged over towards your part of the Long Creek area and then transferred from barge to dump truck to be hauled out through your residential roads, south down N. Greatneck Road over to the Oceana area. If this was going to be just a month or two a year, that would be one thing, but this will be continuous for 16 years. The City’s Deputy City Manager, Mr. David Hansen says that this will benefit us with better water flow in the basin and increased property taxes for those properties that will now have deep water access. The city estimates that 2500+ property owners could benefit from having their tidal areas dredged to deep water depths. But, what about all the rest of the people who who don’t live on the water or would benefit from this program? How do the other residents of Virginia Beach benefit from this project? I don’t see it either. But, we will just pay for it.
