DOMINION BOULEVARD CORRIDOR STUDY | Chesapeake, Virginia
94 | Area Plans
Area 10: Airport Drive -
Size:
901 Gross Acres
Existing Condition:
Access - Area 10 is accessed off of West
Road. A farm road has been created that
links Dominion Boulevard to Airport Road in
anticipation of future development.
Land Use - The predominant existing land
use is Agriculture.
Environmental Features – Much of the
land is in forested and /or land that is on
the National Wetlands Inventory Map.
Agricultural is located on the southern
boundary.
Utilities - Water and sewer is not available
Opportunity:
Given the adjacency to Dominion Boulevard
and the location near the Airport the Area
can support industrial uses, logistics, the
transfer of goods, and uses that support
airport functions. There is a 230 acre sized
parcel that is currently in agricultural use
that may be able to support some of this
vision.
Threat:
Thoughtful planning is needed to develop
this Area to minimize the impact on wetlands
and forested areas.
Land Uses in Area Plan:
Non Residential Uses
Light Industrial / Logistics
Open Space Uses
Agriculture / Conservation
6,870,000 bldg.sq.ft.
221 acres
Leveraging the proximity to the airport and Highway 17, this
230 acre opportunity area has the potential to become a Light
Industrial / Logistics hub.
This 450 acre property is also slated to become a Light
Industrial / Logistics hub

An opportunity to capitalize on the Regional Airport
Other Special Considerations:
• This Area presents a great opportunity to capitalize on the
location adjacent to the regional airport - especially if the airport
undergoes expansion to allow for larger freight oriented aircraft.
It will be important to locate any new development so that the
large an important forested land, which potentially could include
wetlands, is not compromised.
2035 Comprehensive Plan Designations:
