Public Works & Public Utilities Relocation Analysis
Chesapeake, Virginia
The City of Chesapeake was considering redeveloping or relocating the Public Works and Public Utilities (PW/PU) facilities from a site on Greenbrier Parkway to a greenfield site in another part of the city. The existing buildings were in need of renovation, and prior to spending the money on the redevelopment of the site, the question arose as to whether the site, given its location near Greenbrier Mall, would be more valuable if it were sold for private development.
The objectives for this study were to:
Determine the market opportunity for commercial (retail, office, or industrial) land uses at the Greenbrier site.
Compare the costs and revenues associated with redevelopment of the Greenbrier site compared to moving the facilities to a new site.
Understand other criteria (besides costs and revenues) that may impact the decision to move the facility.
Provide recommendations in the form of a side-by-side analysis of both of the scenarios in terms of costs, revenues, and other criteria.
