诺福克市议会(Norfolk City Council)批准将科隆纳造船厂的近10英亩土地从多家庭用地重新划为工业用地, Norfolk City Council approved rezoning nearly 10 acres at Colonna’s Shipyard from multi-family to industrial use, 6-2, despite opposition from residents and community groups. 该决定包括市长肯尼·亚历山大 （Kenny Alexander） 和市议会成员约翰“JP”的异议。佩奇支持这家拥有 150 年历史的造船厂在历史悠久的黑人工人阶级伯克利社区的扩张。 The decision, which includes dissent from Mayor Kenny Alexander and Council member John “J.P.” Paige, supports the 150-year-old shipyard’s expansion in the historically Black, working-class Berkley neighborhood. 居民列举了持续不断的噪音、灰尘、轻污染和环境不公正现象,批评造船厂社区关系差。 Residents cited ongoing noise, dust, light pollution, and environmental injustice, criticizing the shipyard for poor community relations. 造船厂雇用约750人,计划使用土地进行船舶修理、维修和钢铁制造。 The shipyard, which employs about 750 people, plans to use the land for ship repair, maintenance, and steel fabrication. 未来的发展仍然需要额外的城市许可。 Future development still requires additional city permits. 在重新划分区域之前,2007年和2016年曾两次尝试在该地建造多家庭住房,但均未成功。 The rezoning follows two prior failed attempts to build multifamily housing on the site in 2007 and 2016.
