An update on various city services was given to the Hampton City Council at its Feb. 9 regular meeting:

  • According to a city official, first-quarter revenues of about $586,000 included approximately $200,000 in CARES Act funds.
  • Issues with a number of recycling customers have been addressed, and there is now a dropbox on the city website for citizens to submit video recordings of poor sanitation service.
  • State funds will be used to improve Central Avenue from West Main Street to the main entrance of McBrayer Park.
  • The first phase of the East Hampton Park should be done by mid-March and the city has been approved for a $150,000 grant for the second phase.
