Colonial Beach Revitalization

The Northern Neck Planning District Commission (NNPDC) is assisting the Town of Colonial Beach with its downtown revitalization effort. The Town received $747,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). The project includes improvements to facades, landscaping, street furniture, street lights, the installation of wayfaring signage, the development of a marketing website, the painting of five murals, and the creation of a revolving-loan program.
