The materials below provide independent research and analysis regarding the proposed sale and redevelopment of Virginia Beach National Golf Club. They were prepared by Virginia Beach residents using City documents, public records, recorded land records, court filings, and other publicly available sources.
These are independent citizen-prepared materials, not official publications of the City of Virginia Beach or Responsible Growth VB. Some documents contain analysis, calculations, estimates, interpretations, or recommendations by their authors. Sources and assumptions are identified within the individual documents so readers can review the underlying information and reach their own conclusions.
Responsible Growth VB is making these materials available as a public resource to help residents better understand the proposal and the questions being raised ahead of the City Council vote.
