DCR staff will provide an overview of the proposed phased development plan including:
First Landing is one of the busiest Virginia State Parks, with roughly 1 million visitors annually. Located in Virginia Beach, the park serves as a respite for locals and as a popular vacation destination for visitors from across the mid-Atlantic and beyond.
Supporting the recreational needs of so many requires public input. As such, attendees will have the opportunity to give feedback during a portion of the meeting. DCR will also accept written feedback through May 8, 2021.
