Newport News taking thoughts on proposed road extension through Tech Center to Oyster Pt/Village Green Pkwy
There is a meeting scheduled for next week for residents to comment on the proposed extension of Hogan Dr from Cannon Blvd to Village Green Parkway/Oyster Point.
Knowing the concerns over traffic, light timing, and entryway beautification, this would be an excellent opportunity to express them and encourage some action to address them. Just remember once it is done, we have little room to complain.
According to the website it is “7/23/19 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM in the JAMES ROOM of the Waterworks City Center Conference Facilities located at 700 Town Center Dr., Newport News, VA 23606” or send comments to the project coordinator Thomas Cheney, 757.926.8715, [email protected].

New pool pump motor installed
The pool pump motor failed on Wednesday and our pool management company had a new one installed by Thursday afternoon. The plan is to repair the old motor and keep it on-hand to be used as a backup in case of a future failure.
2019 4th of July Parade and Picnic
We hope everyone had an enjoyable 4th of July! It started off with the annual parade throughout Village Green with the NNFD from Station #6 leading many of our neighbors and Uncle Sam. Look below for links to pictures taken by Wes Poole and Victoria Woodruff. Thanks for capturing these special moments!
Amy Nuttall coordinated this year’s 4th of July and the turnout was amazing despite the heat/humidity. THANK YOU!
Thanks to all of those neighbors that came out and enjoyed this wonderful tradition. A special thanks goes out to those who volunteered their time to make July 3rd and July 4th a memorable occasion for so many!
If anyone has video of the flag retirement ceremony, please contact [email protected].

2019 Village Green Biathlon
The annual Biathlon was run again with some previous athletes (Carrisa and Candice came out of retirement) and equally important MANY new faces!!! What a great time. This is what Village Green is all about. Connor was DJ and official race starter due to a bicycle accident the day before. We had several last minute entries which made it fun and exciting. Coach Amy brought a distance runner with her and the Block children were resourceful in drafting teammates. (The Woodruff’s are starting their training for next year’s biathlon beginning tomorrow.) Team Potatoes shot out of the gate with a great swim and then rocketed around Village Green Pkwy with the fastest run — admittedly, they caught the race organizers by surprise!!!
We had to run 3 heats because we had 14 teams! That was amazing…and made it a bit of a challenge for the official timekeeper. 😉 Thanks for the 14 timers that were able to help out using stopwatches and cell phones.
Great job to all the participants and of course to all the winners!

2019 Village Green Junior Biathlon
The 1st annual Junior Biathlon was a SUCCESS and positioned these young athletes for future success in the Village Green Biathlon in coming years. We had 9 children participate…4 teams of 2 and 1 athlete that ran the grueling biathlon event by himself, Cameron (Coach Amy’s son). We had parents and spectators stationed throughout the cross-country track in the Village Green Park and these kids had a great time officially kicking off our 4th of July festivities this year!
Thanks to all the volunteers and spectators that came out and thanks to Connor for being the DJ and official starter for the evening.
