E-UPDATE

Sept 2022
Hampton Roads Economic Monthly
In recent months, it’s been difficult to evade headlines discussing inflation. A lot has changed since we last checked in on increasing prices in May 2021, so this month’s article will focus on overall inflation and some of the select categories that are contributing more
(or less) to price hikes since year-over-year change in prices surpassed the coveted 2% target.

Each month, HRTPO staff highlights a project that is currently being implemented within the Hampton Roads region. This month, staff is highlighting the Greate Road (Route 1208) Pedestrian Improvements project in Gloucester County.

Learn what the Community Rating System (CRS) is and how it affects flood insurance. This month’s Map of the Month shows the CRS Class ratings for Hampton Roads communities. Ten Hampton Roads communities participate in the CRS.


If you’ve visited the Regional Building recently, you may have noticed some new faces around the PDC and TPO offices. Get to know the new staff.

The askHRgreen.org Recycling and Beautification Committee invites artists and creative teams to envision and develop a dynamic Virginia LOVE sign, encouraging Hampton Roads residents and visitors to “Start Smart, Recycle Right.”
