Some images will highlight key aspects of the City that may need to be addressed in our Comprehensive Plan.Topics will likely include: transit, roadway congestion, residents biking and walking, trucking, small businesses in action, the agriculture economy, wildlife, examples of different yet compatible development, senior housing, human services, existing housing, new housing, rural character, open spaces, community amenities, tourism/attractions, fun, workforce preparedness, workforce opportunities, and the waterfront. The project team will work with the photographer to establish the final set of topics and a detailed shot list. The photographer can expect to travel around Chesapeake and photograph many different scenes and activities. Photos will encompass buildings, events, activities, landscapes, and people simply living their lives in Chesapeake.
