Kempsville Cleanup and Restoration

Kempsville is one of seven residence districts in the City of Virginia Beach, and is thereby associated with one seat on the city council. Although the official land area of the Kempsville district is small relative to the size of the City of Virginia Beach, Kempsville's historical influence stretches the entire span of Princess Anne Road from the Norfolk border to the Courthouse and Pungo areas of the city. Kempsville residential neighborhoods include Acredale, Arrowhead, Avalon Hills, Bellamy Manor, Bellamy Woods, Brandon, Brigadoon, Brigadoon Pines, Carolanne Farms, Charleston, Charleston Woods, Charleston Lakes South, College Park, Fairfield, Fox Run, Indian Lakes, Lake Christopher, Lake James, Larkspur Farms, Point O' View, Ridglea, Salem, Stratford Chase, and Whitehurst Landing. The community of Kempsville operates under the Virginia Beach City Public School System. Kempsville grew in population during the explosive economic growth of the 1960s and 1970s. Kempsville transformed into a sprawling suburban community of the largest independent city in Virginia. The 4th Precinct is based in Kempsville giving the community police protection by the Virginia Beach Police Department. Fire protection is provided by the Virginia Beach Fire Department through Fire Station 9 and Fire Station 10 in the VBFD system. The Kempsville Volunteer Rescue Squad provides ambulance transportation and EMS services as part of the Virginia Beach Department of EMS. The two major shopping centers in the Kempsville community are located directly across the street from each other on the Southwest and Northwest Corners of the Kempsville Road and Providence Road intersection. They are Providence Square and Fairfield Shopping Centers.
