“Kindred” – a symbol of family bonds, shared experiences, and civic pride – is the new name of the former Tidewater Gardens public-housing community that has been chosen by residents, community leaders, and other stakeholders.
The selection of Kindred marks an important next step in the redevelopment of the St. Paul’s Tidewater Gardens neighborhood, which is on schedule to be completed by 2025.
“We are pleased with the process that resulted in a family-friendly name that evokes kinship, relationships, love, and lifelong bonds,” said Norfolk Mayor Kenneth Cooper Alexander. “When completed, Kindred will represent a mixed-income community that is diverse and welcoming to people who share the same values of living in a safe, affordable neighborhood with access to amenities that enhance their quality of life.”
