No parachutes are required.<\/p>\n<p>According to Virginia Beach officials, the project has created six full-time jobs, including two positions filled with service-disabled veterans. By this summer, the facility is expected to employ a 30-person team.<\/p>\n<p>The entertainment venue is the first of three initiatives planned for the 2.1-acre site on Pacific Avenue and 25th Street. The city is working with the Breeden Co. to develop a former parking lot into a $35 million multifamily project and a $10 million parking structure with 598 spaces, 340 of which will be allotted for public use.<\/p>\n<p>The residential development is scheduled to open this summer. Called Aqua on 25th Street, it will feature 147 one-, two- and three-bedroom luxury apartments, as well as a pool, rooftop decks and a fitness center. The parking garage is expected to cost $10 million.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The state of Virginia now has its very own vertical wind tunnel. iFLY Va Beach Indoor Skydiving opened last week, bringing the most advanced wind tunnel technology in the world to Virginia Beach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":925,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21742,36153],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004113963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest","category-richmond-hampton-roads"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
