The opening of the Hampton VA Aquaplex, featuring multiple pools and a 'Splash-Down Park,' has been delayed to fall due to supply chain issues.

Turning wastewater into drinkable water: It’s happening in Newport News
Construction has begun on the James River SWIFT facility in Newport News, part of the Sustainable Water Infrastructure for Tomorrow (SWIFT) program by the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD). The facility aims to treat wastewater to refill the Potomac aquifer, providing up to 16 million gallons of water per day by 2026. The larger network of SWIFT facilities will eventually supply about 100 million gallons of drinking-quality water daily by 2032. Funded by a loan from the Environmental Protection Agency, the project also includes shoreline stabilization, walking trails, and a new administration building for HRSD.

Hampton man sentenced after falsely blaming his dead friend for fatal crash
Kalik Kydarial Newsome was sentenced to 25 years in prison, with 14 years suspended, after pleading guilty to aggravated involuntary manslaughter and felony eluding police. Newsome falsely claimed his friend, Robert 'Robbie' Lee Ham II, was driving during a fatal crash on Interstate 64. The Ham family expressed frustration with Newsome's lack of remorse and the state police's initial misidentification of the driver, which led to public backlash against their deceased son. The case highlights issues of accountability and the impact of misinformation.

Newport News purchased 1,500 acres for a reservoir it never built. Now it’s selling off the land at a fraction of the price.
Newport News purchased nearly 1,500 acres in King William County over 20 years ago for a reservoir project that was ultimately abandoned due to flawed water demand projections and environmental concerns. The city spent about $51 million on the project, which was halted in 2009. Now, Newport News is selling the land at a fraction of the original cost, having sold 664 acres for $849,481 so far this year. The project faced opposition from environmental groups like the Sierra Club and was criticized for its high costs and lack of necessity. The land, mostly unsuitable for development, is being sold to reduce maintenance costs and fund other infrastructure projects.
