PRESERVING THE PAST, LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

Welcome Friends and Neighbors!

The Ghent Neighborhood League (GNL) in Norfolk, Virginia promotes activities that foster a sense of community. From social events and beautification initiatives to informative meetings and symposia we look to bring all residents of Ghent together in support of our beloved historic neighborhood.

The March Monthly Membership Meeting is cancelled due to a scheduling conflict. We’ll see you next month with lots of news and a great presentation!

The most important part of the GNL is its members.

We are interested in your ideas and opinions and are delighted when our members participate in and volunteer for our many projects. We want you as a member and look forward to your input.

Membership is open to any resident of the Ghent Neighborhood, both renters and home owners.

The GNL also advocates for the conservation and promotion of the historic character of the Ghent neighborhood, its architectural resources, and environmental quality.  We facilitate communication between residents, provide a structured forum for discussing issues and concerns of the neighborhood, and act as the primary conduit between residents and local government.
