OpenNorfolk

This boots-on-the-ground small business assistance program ensures businesses throughout the city are able to open in a safe, physically-distanced manner and financially recover as quickly as possible.

OpenNorfolk:

Provides clear guidance to small business owners and a toolkit to help them expand into either their own outdoor space (parking lots and yards) or in the public right-of-way (sidewalks, parking spaces, etc.) on pedestrian commercial corridors.
Provides hands-on assistance to business owners who would like a small team of people to help them move their own furniture, provide outdoor furnishings, or build them a parklet or other temporary furnishings for outdoor dining.

Find out more about the program and how to get assistance.
