A new hunger study by the University of Chicago on behalf of Virginia’s food banks found 43% of households in Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore are food insecure. On the Virginia Peninsula, that rate is even higher at 50%, making it the second highest in the state.

But Chesapeake resident Mike Hoffman said he soon realized the issue wasn’t just about data centers. “The bigger question is how can we give farmers more options when they feel like the only option is to sell (their) land?” Hoffman said.

    Portsmouth became the first city in the region to allow collective bargaining for public employees in 2023. Nearly three years later, city council voted unanimously Tuesday to implement rules to make those negotiations possible.
