Norfolk dumpsters.

Norfolk, a city in Independent city, is home to about 238,000 residents. Norfolk is home to Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — where continuous base construction, pier maintenance, and contractor facility development drive a significant share of the regional construction economy. The city faces severe flooding risk from both storm surge and tidal flooding, with significant areas experiencing 10-20 or more days of tidal flooding annually — a number increasing with sea-level rise. Norfolk is investing $1.1 billion in flood mitigation infrastructure including sea walls, pump stations, and elevated roads through its Coastal Resilience Strategy. Virginia's Hampton Roads region is subsiding at 3-4mm per year combined with sea-level rise of 5mm per year — among the highest relative sea-level rise rates on the U.S. East Coast. Norfolk City requires a Right-of-Way Encroachment Permit for containers in public right-of-way. The city's NEON district and downtown waterfront development anchor urban core construction activity.
