NEWPORT NEWS—A group of local business owners has submitted an application to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) to create a new Downtown Newport News Historic District. Historic Districts are designations of a group of buildings that together form a historically or architecturally significant area.

The designation is intended to preserve the character of the significant area, but not freeze it in time. It helps communities protect and share their history while benefiting the local economy by attracting visitors and buyers looking for unique historic homes and commercial properties.

The New Local News Model

On July 1, we started a new way to pay for news. Yes, we want you to subscribe, but we know nobody subscribes to every site they visit just because there's a paywall.

So if you don't want to subscribe (even at the low price of $39.99 for a year), you can pay for access to individual articles. Or just buy a 24-hour pass, as if you were buying a single copy of a newspaper. We use a new payment service called Transact, which lets you pay for individual articles in as little as three seconds. And you will get $3 in credit when you sign up (just an email address, no credit card required), which will let you pay for at least 20 articles.

This is new for everyone, so we're going to ease you into this. Initially, there won't be many articles that you have to pay for. Short ones will always be free. And even the longer stories will let you read the first half or so for free. We'd love to hear what you think, so send us a note at feedback@peninsulachronicle.com.

The Peninsula Chronicle reports on business news on the Virginia Peninsula, from Williamsburg to Newport News and Hampton.
