Lake Tecumseh weir project to affect some residents
Posted on June 23, 2010, under Announcements, City of Virginia Beach News.
Lake Tecumseh is a shallow 261 acre lake located next to the Atlantic Ocean in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Lake Tecumseh is a leading source of suspended sediment to Back Bay, a nationally significant estuary. Suspended sediments negatively affect submerged aquatic vegetation, foul fish gills, and degrade waterfowl habitat. Studies continue to assess the impact weirs, low dams to raise river or stream levels or divert flow, would have on flooding, water quality, fish, and wildlife. Construction of the weirs and boat portage will take 8-10 weeks to complete and is scheduled to begin mid-August of 2010.
For more information about the project, please see General Info regarding Lago Mar Right of Way (ROW). More extensive information is available from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services. A map of Lake Tecumseh is available by clicking here.
Disaster Preparedness
Posted on June 9, 2010, under Announcements.
The recent VBCCO newsletter (found under the VBCCO tab above), provides links and websites, some of which are noted below, to help you prepare for hurricanes and other disasters.
Most of us have no real concept of or first-hand experience with the kind of severe damage even a mid-size hurricane can cause in our area. For decades, our area has been relatively lucky however, Hampton Roads is due for a big one!
Hurricane Katrina forced many cities to reevaluate their disaster preparedness plan for hurricanes and other disasters. As a result, a great deal of new and critical information is available.
Please plan ahead, be prepared, and heed all warnings. With our limited roadways, extensive waterways/tunnels/bridges, and extremely limited shelters in the Tidewater Area, waiting too long to prepare and to evacuate will prove tragic.

I will leave it to the fine leadership of our organization to more completely elaborate and orient our members to the capabilities and content found on this new site. However, as sitemaster and builder, allow me to be the first to greet our residents, give a quick tour and say ‘hello’. I hope the information and the organization of the resources found here will be helpful to all of our members and aide the leadership of the civic league in making LagoMar an even better place to call ‘home’.
Depending on when you may be reading this, our site is growing and its ‘birth’ will be progressing as content is added …
As you may have noticed, the site is organized for easy navigation with tabs for pages which are organized for quick reference to the types of information that may be important to you. The site is also created as a blog, at heart. That means members and leadership (with approved access, of course) may post info, announcements and updates to the blog. Not interested in posting but have a thought or something to say about a post/message? You can add a comment to that post and be a part of the dialogue. Want to stay updated on the latest happenings and information here on the site?

Depending on when you may be reading this, our site is growing and its ‘birth’ will be progressing as content is added by your leadership and myself. After that time you can be assured that new content will be added and the site expanded to continue to be meaningful for our residents and league members. Check back often!
