City staff are now reviewing an ambitious plan to revamp Hampton's old courthouse it into a centerpiece for the city's new arts district — a proposal that could be a huge shot in the arm for downtown Hampton's development.
The city put out a call last year looking for ideas about how to use the huge, historic Kings Way courthouse once the clerks and judges moved into the new courthouse a block north on King Street.
In March, an ad hoc citizen group presented a wide-ranging idea for an arts hub in the 42,000-square-foot facility. Months later, the proposal has finally been finished and submitted.
