Launched in March 2024, Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities is a three-year initiative to turbocharge 25 U.S. cities’ efforts to leverage historic levels of federal funding to proactively build low-carbon, resilient, and economically thriving communities. Among those 25 cities are two Hampton Roads communities — the City of Hampton and the City of Newport News!

The cities selected for Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities will receive support from Bloomberg Philanthropies to bolster city capacity in driving progress on climate mitigation and promoting equitable outcomes. Potential projects in the 25 cities include developing affordable energy-efficient housing, increasing access to clean energy, investing in electric vehicles and infrastructure, and more.

Congratulations to the 133 graduates of Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School! A commencement ceremony was held over the weekend with U.S. Rep. Bobby Scott, NNS leadership, and local shipbuilding supporters, alongside family and friends of the graduates, in attendance.

The Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School has been accredited since 1982. Students can earn academic degrees through its partnerships with institutions of higher education. Certification to grant associate degrees and confer degrees on its own came in July 2020, after the school was approved by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia to operate as a postsecondary institution.
