About this site

The Hampton Commons Web site is a forward-acting effort to create simpler and more numerous ways for the citizens of the City of Hampton to engage with each other, as well as with their elected and appointed public employees.

Because we believe that civic engagement should take place in an open environment, we also believe that those who chose to participate do so with the same degree of openness that citizens rightfully expect from their public officials.
