Norfolk City Council formal session, September 29, 2026: Council unanimously approved ordinances authorizing sales of city-owned parcels to Getting It Done Construction Company LLC, Blue Sky Finishes Inc., Asfari Homes Inc., and individual buyers. Several sales followed the city’s online real estate auction; others were under purchase-and-sale agreements. The approved properties included sites on West 30th, West 28th, West 29th, Fremont, West 26th, and Hansen Avenue. Sale prices were not stated. Council also approved a $2,959,083.99 capital-improvement-plan budget transfer to increase funding for the Harbor Park area parking deck, reappropriating funds previously allocated to renovation of the Sheriff Administration Building. Two ordinances increased appropriations for property acquisition costs, but amounts were not provided.

All recorded votes were affirmative; no contract award to a service vendor was identified.
