So, I did a little detective work today with the City of Norfolk Planning Department and they were able to confirm for me that they have issued a permit for construction of a supercharger site at the Janaf shopping center. I then called the folks at the shopping center and they confirmed that it will be located on the main road that runs in between the two halves of the shopping center in the parking lot in front of TJ Maxx. The area is about 2 miles or 7 minutes from I-64 at the Northhampton Blvd exit, which is also the road to the Chespeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. It can also be accessed easily from I-264 using the Military Highway exit, which would be even closer, just over a mile from the exit.
There are numerous dining options available at Janaf: pizza, Chinese, Subway, Qdoba, Popeyes, Olive Garden and Mexican plus a couple of buffet joints. There is a pretty crappy Days Inn right next to that area and a nicer Holiday Inn Express that is about a half mile away.
I have attached an overhead shot from Google Maps with the "A" indicator in the approximate location indicated by the shopping center lady on the phone. From the way she described it, I believe it will be against the grass strip across from TJ Maxx in the spaces immediately next to the shopping center road.
Someone from the supercharger@teslamotors address told me that they hoped for a late May or early June opening. Next time I'm down there I'll try to scout the location for progress pictures unless we have someone local who gets there first. I might see if my brother or Dad can swing by and check it out this weekend.
