NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Norfolk leaders are hoping a current food desert will turn into an oasis for a community in the southern part of the city.
A grocery store is coming to the Berkley area of Norfolk, more than three years after the former Farm Fresh closed there in 2018.
A big crowd gathered at the future Berkley Supermarket on 201 E. Berkley Avenue on Thursday to celebrate the announcement of the new store. It’s expected to open in August.
Bringing in a grocer has been a “top priority” for the city since the Farm Fresh closed. The cooperation agreement between the city and owner includes a $500,000 grant and a $400,000 forgivable loan if certain milestones are met.
WAVY’s Kara Dixon was at the announcement and will have more coming up.
