This program will make city data more consumable and readily available to the public. The work to create the open data policy and program was completed with guidance from What Works Cities, an initiative of Bloomberg Philanthropies. The City of Norfolk is one of only 100 U.S. cities selected to participate in the What Works City initiative, designed to help mid-sized cities improve transparency, increase efficiency and make better data-driven decisions.
