Coming to Chesapeake
Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) is building our new Operations Headquarters at 401 Clearfield Avenue. VNG was proud to partner with local elected officials, staff, businesses and residents in nearby communities on this effort and remains committed to being an excellent neighbor to the families, schools and businesses in this corridor.
The approximately $50 million investment will provide an increase in local tax revenue from real estate and personal property taxes to the City of Chesapeake for the building and vehicles and will be the new home for approximately 150 team members who are currently located in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach. The Operations Headquarters is an additional investment in the region, complementing VNG’s Corporate Headquarters in Virginia Beach.
Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (SAVE) Program
Virginia Natural Gas is committed to providing safe and reliable natural gas service to our more than 310,000 customers across southeastern Virginia. As part of this commitment, we continually perform regular safety checks and maintenance on our pipeline infrastructure through the Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (SAVE) program, our company's pipeline modernization initiative aimed at renewing our existing natural gas infrastructure — enhancing the integrity, reliability and safety of our pipeline system.
During our SAVE projects, we replace aging, older pipes with new pipes that are more durable, reduce methane emissions and are less expensive to maintain. There's a chance that you may see our qualified employees and contractors performing work in your neighborhood.

Construction Site Safety
VNG reminds community members to remain vigilant around any active construction site and practice the following safety precautions:
- Keep children and pets safe by keeping them away from construction areas.
- Do not park in marked construction zones.
- Drive carefully when in construction zones.
- Follow and obey the direction of traffic signs and on-site crews.
Know the Markings
Utility line color codes are used to identify existing underground utilities in construction areas to help protect them from damage during digging and excavation. This is done with temporary markings, either flags or a special spray paint. Please do not tamper with or remove these markings from an active construction site. Note, markings are used to ensure the safety of your neighborhood but do not necessarily represent areas where digging will occur.
