All-America All Together

All-America All Together

Newport News is a city of innovation, collaboration and inclusivity, where community and leadership come together to address challenges and create opportunities. With a focus on civic engagement and enhancing quality of life, the City continues to set a standard for progress.

The City of Newport News has achieved a remarkable milestone, earning the prestigious title of a 2024 All-America City by the National Civic League! This incredible honor is awarded to only ten communities each year, recognizing those that have demonstrated exceptional civic engagement, innovative problem-solving, and a commitment to expanding democracy for all residents. Newport News proudly stands among this elite group.

The journey to becoming an All-America City was both challenging and inspiring. TEAM Newport News, a dedicated group of community leaders, residents and City officials, competed against cities from across the nation for this top honor. Their efforts showcased Newport News’ unique and impactful approach to addressing critical issues, with a strong focus on enhancing the lives of our residents.

One of the key themes of this year’s competition was the expansion of democracy, a mission that the National Civic League considers vital for creating stronger, more inclusive communities. Newport News stood out for its unwavering commitment to this goal, particularly in its efforts to provide innovative services to those in need.
