Norfolk, Va. – November 4, 2010 – Virginia Natural Gas today hosted the grand opening of their new 32,500 square foot building in Virginia Beach’s Lakeview Corporate Park off Independence Boulevard and Interstate 264.

The ceremonial ribbon was cut by Mayor Will Sessoms, Virginia Beach; Tony Nero, president, Armada Hoffler; and Jodi Gidley, president, Virginia Natural Gas.



“Our new facility is especially environmentally friendly, which made it very attractive to us,” said Jodi Gidley, president, Virginia Natural Gas. “Reducing our carbon footprint reinforces our commitment to our customers, the residents of Virginia and our employees.”

The two-story brick and glass office building features numerous green building components including; an energy efficient natural gas HVAC system, low-flow fixtures, water efficient landscaping, a white roof, a reduced construction waste management program and reduction in light pollution.
