    Later Tuesday, Virginia Beach leaders will be getting updates on the future of the Virginia Aquarium.

    The city is considering options as financing the aquarium has become a concern.

    Earlier this summer, there was a brief effort to see if a third party could come in and operate the aquarium with the Virginia Aquarium Foundation.

    We know two groups were interested but do not know if that is a route the city is willing to take.

    They will be updated at two this afternoon.

    We will inform you of any new details as events unfold.

    The Virginia aquarium is an Intercal part of the diversity of the city and the activities that has to offer its residence as well as its guests. I remember when groups of builders and developers and businessman back in the early 80s contributed to build this beautiful aquarium. It’s a legacy to all the individuals that supported it and brought it out of the ground to fruition. In my opinion, the city has an obligation to figure out how to continue to keep it as a natural part of what the city represents. Certainly a city is wealthy as Virginia Beach could find a way to continue to maintain this wonderful venue
