Allen Iverson's apartment complex proposal returns to Newport News

Newport News is reconsidering a proposed apartment complex backed by NBA legend Allen Iverson. The City Council previously voted against the project but has now allowed the developer to present it again to the Planning Commission. The proposed Iverson Landing would feature 120 units in a three-story building. The developer plans to address community concerns and improve project details before resubmitting for approval. Community meetings are planned for April and May to discuss the project. The mayor and City Council members support increasing housing options in Newport News, acknowledging the city's zoning restrictions.
