Season 5, Episode 3: Gloucester considers Working Waterfront and Technology overlay districts

Gloucester County, Virginia Season 5 Episode 3

Gloucester County has a rich history tied to our many waterways. To fish, oyster, crab and boat has long been part of our culture. 

However, zoning laws along many of our shorelines don't support these historic uses - and that oversight has sometimes led to tension between our water-based businesses and our residents.

How can we preserve and protect our beautiful shorelines, while also encouraging their economic potential?

We've brought on board a grant-funded researcher to get community input on this issue, and make recommendations for potential future laws. This is the moment to weigh in on how you view, and interact with, Gloucester's waterfront!
