NORFOLK, Va. — City leaders have set a new date to meet with the community about the future of the old Lambert's Point Golf Course by Old Dominion University, and there's a push to turn it into a public park.
Severe weather canceled the original meeting date.
The golf course closed at the end of last year, and Hampton Roads Sanitation District took over about two-thirds of the property.
Norfolk owns more than 15 acres, and the city says this is some of the last public waterfront property in the city.
A local group has started petitions to encourage the city to turn those acres into a park, and they've gotten more than 3,000 signatures online.
The public forum is scheduled for August 9 at Lambert's Point Community Center from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and self-guided tours of the Lambert's Point Golf Course will be available from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
