Highway Marker Database

The Highway Marker Program identifies and documents Virginia’s significant historical persons, events, and places.  Our focus is on educating the public and providing accurate historical information, rather than on honoring, memorializing, or commemorating individuals or events. These markers, placed along state highways and roads, serve as a valuable resource for residents and visitors alike, providing a deeper understanding of the state’s rich history and cultural heritage.

With their texts of black lettering against a silver background and their distinctive shape, Virginia’s state historical highway markers are hard to miss along the commonwealth’s roadways. There are now more than 2,600 of them erected in Virginia to highlight people, places, or events of regional, statewide, or national significance.

Virginia’s historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation, beginning in 1927 when a handful of markers were erected along U.S. 1 between Richmond and Mount Vernon. Originally the Conservation and Economic Development Commission was tasked with creating historical markers. In 1949, the Virginia Department of Highways was assigned the responsibility for installing and maintaining new markers, and in 1950 the Virginia State Library took over researching and approving new makers.

In 1966, management of the highway markers was transferred to the newly created Virginia Landmarks Commission, the predecessor agency of the Department of Historic Resources. Today VDOT retains primary responsibility for installing new markers and maintaining existing ones. In this capacity, VDOT is a vital partner with DHR in managing the marker program.

Municipal Building Energy Use

This dataset contains the energy consumption for every building that is owned and occupied by the City of Norfolk. The dataset tracks electricity, natural gas, and water consumption by meter; most energy meters are tied to one building. The energy consumption data is collected in EnergyCAP, a system of record that tracks Norfolk’s energy management and utility bill accounting. This data originates from monthly utility bills submitted by Norfolk’s energy vendors. In this dataset, users can explore the amount of electricity, natural gas and propane consumed monthly by municipal buildings in Norfolk as well as follow energy expenditure trends. The data is updated weekly.

Economic Impact of Visitors in Virginia in 2023

Visitor spending reached a new record in Virginia in 2023, growing by $3 billion, nearly 10%, to an impressive $33.3 billion. Visitor spending builds vibrant communities and supports quality of life amenities across the Commonwealth for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike. Visitors spent $91 million per day in Virginia's restaurants, shops, attractions, entertainment venues, airports, and hotels, employing over 224,000 Virginians, or 5% of all jobs in the Commonwealth.

Access to Jobs in Virginia by census block 2024 (auto, bike, walk & transit)

The Accessibility Observatory at the University of Minnesota produces census block level access to jobs data by four modes (auto, bike, walk and transit). https://www.cts.umn.edu/programs/ao

Accessibility is the ease and feasibility of reaching valued destinations. It can be measured for a wide array of transportation modes, to different types of destinations, and at different times of day. There are a variety of ways to define accessibility, but the number of destinations reachable within a given travel time is the most comprehensible and transparent as well as the most directly comparable across different geographies.

Reports published by mode have detailed information on how these data are produced. Auto: https://hdl.handle.net/11299/277741 Bike: https://hdl.handle.net/11299/277742 Walk: https://hdl.handle.net/11299/277744 Transit: https://hdl.handle.net/11299/277743

These data are provided in two formats. The first format is an ESRI Map Package that includes feature classes for each mode. The second format is a zipped shapefile of census blocks and four CSV files, one for each mode. For every census block, for each mode, there is a reported value of the number of jobs that can be reached within a specified time threshold. The bicycle mode includes two Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) 2 (Low traffic stress) and 3 (Moderate traffic stress) to define usable routes.

Taxable Sales Data by Locality year 2018

Taxable sales information for all counties and cities in the Commonwealth of Virginia is based on all sales tax receipts received by the Department of Taxation. Taxable sales for a locality reflect payments for sales made during the current period, tax payments based on audit settlements for sales occurring in previous periods, and any transfers of revenue from one locality to another to correct errors in filing of tax returns. Deposit, refund, and bad check adjustments are not reflected in the taxable sales report.

The Department of Taxation releases taxable sales information for each quarter as well as a separate computation of taxable sales figures for the calendar year. Combining the quarterly reports will not yield a complete annual sales total.

Norfolk Mermaid Sculptures

Mermaid sculptures have graced the city of Norfolk since 2000. Today, mermaids can be found throughout Norfolk as well as in neighboring cities. They can be found in front of businesses, inside and outside schools, near hospitals, and in homeowners' yards. And, thanks to the Norfolk Sister City Association and others, mermaids can also be found in many countries around the world. Some mermaids are old, some are new. Some mermaids have had to be completely redone due to damage by the elements or vandalism. The mermaids are owned by individuals, businesses, and other organizations. Most sponsors are also the owners in this dataset. The city of Norfolk does not own most of the mermaids and thus, we do not maintain them.

This dataset provides a listing of all known Norfolk mermaid sculptures and their locations as well as the artist’s name, the mermaid’s name, and photographs of the mermaid. If you know of a mermaid that is missing from this dataset, please email Come Home or use the online form. This dataset will be updated as new mermaids are reported.

Virginia Wetlands Catalog (VWC)

The Virginia Wetlands Catalog (VWC) is an inventory of wetlands and potential wetlands with prioritization summaries for conservation and restoration purposes by parcel, subwatershed, and wetland boundaries.
The VWC can be used to prioritize wetlands, parcels, and subwatersheds for conservation or restoration purposes, to inform project-design processes to make them more efficient, to assess impacts of proposed projects, and to identify possible mitigation sites. The primary funder of the VWC, the U.S. Department of Agriculture--Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Virginia State Office, uses the catalog for ranking wetlands for values related to wildlife habitat and water quality and for conserving wetlands under the Wetland Reserve Easement (WRE) program.
The first step was to develop a wetlands and associated features layer by combining wetlands, potential wetlands, floodplains, and streams from the National Wetlands Inventory, the National Hydrography Dataset, the Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map Database, and the Soil Survey Geographic Database. The next step was to attribute this layer with information for ranking wetlands for either conservation or restoration purposes. The conservation attributes included weighted information pertaining to plant and animal biodiversity, significant natural communities, natural lands that provide ecosystem services, natural corridors and stream buffers, proximity to conserved lands, relatively clean watersheds, and drinking water sources. Several of these attributes were reused as restoration attributes, albeit with some weight modifications, with the addition of information related to degraded watersheds, impaired waters, prior converted and agricultural wetlands, and stream reaches with relatively low aquatic biodiversity that potentially could be restored. Information pertaining to parcels, subwatersheds, existing mitigation banks, and development was added for reference and summary uses.
