Good morning, Hampton.

City officials, community members, and first responders celebrated the ribbon cutting of the new Wythe Fire Station #3 in Hampton on July 10.

The 17,000-square-foot facility — with four pull-through apparatus bays and themed spaces honoring local history — replaces the old station and will host a public open house once fully operational.

Motorists experienced a shift to inside lane use on I-64 east near the Hampton Roads Center Parkway on Monday due to bridge rehabilitation for the HREL Newport News Segment, with lanes reduced from four to three until fall 2025 while ramp access was maintained — shifts for I-64 west are scheduled for 2026.

Today’s defense budget bill allocates over $700 million to local projects at bases such as Naval Station Norfolk and Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and military personnel receive a 3.8% pay raise—adding to more than $8 billion set aside for U.S. shipbuilding.

11-year-old Jackie Meeks, now cancer-free after treatment at CHKD, hosted a lemonade stand on Friday outside the hospital to raise funds for pediatric cancer while her family and friends plan more than 200 stands from July 18 to Aug.

3 to beat last year's $22,000 total + advance CHKD's goal of $100,000. This local effort supports children in need and builds on a community tradition of backing pediatric treatment at the hospital.

NFL quarterback Tyrod Taylor hosted his second passing academy at Hampton University this past weekend—drawing more than 80 quarterbacks and wide receivers for drills on footwork, throwing mechanics and timing.

The camp provided hands-on training for high school, college and younger athletes—highlighting Taylor's commitment to local football development.

Tabb High School lacrosse coaches Dave Siegel and Marc Forrest are working to shift their club sport into the Virginia High School League—an effort that would give players varsity status and stronger support for college paths.

The move could require around $40,000 in new costs, although booster funds and fundraisers have already raised about $50,000, reflecting a broader trend in the area.
