The City of Hampton has two Business Improvement Districts (BIDs): Downtown Hampton and Coliseum Central. Under Virginia law, special taxing is permitted in these districts, and is collected in Hampton's BIDs in the form of assessed property taxes. The Downtown Hampton District encompasses more than 250 businesses and property owners and is managed by Downtown Hampton Development Partnership (DHDP). The DHDP is committed to enhancing the physical beauty, commercial vitality, and distinguished character of Downtown Hampton. The Coliseum Central District, including over 1,900 acres and representing over 700 businesses and property owners, is managed by Coliseum Central Business Improvement District. Coliseum Central uses the revenues generated to fund projects, programs, and initiatives designed to enhance or improve elements within the District. Both business improvement districts are guided by adopted master plans.
The City of Hampton was the recipient of the 2011 Donald Hunter Excellence in Economic Development Planning Award from the American Planning Association for the Peninsula Town Center Project, the redevelopment of an enclosed mall into a pedestrian-oriented mixed use development. The Project was guided by the Coliseum Central Master Plan. Join us as Sherry Spring, Executive Director of Downtown Hampton Development Partnership, and Elizabeth McCoury, Executive Director of Coliseum Central Business Improvement District, discuss activities and achievements within their Districts and how their ongoing efforts and partnerships are supported by the City of Hampton.
