Chesapeake city officials are planning to improve the Greenbrier area by boosting pedestrian access and potentially raising property values for 5,000 homes across 13 neighborhoods.

The Chesapeake Fire Department responded to a house fire on Ilkly Circle around 5 p.m. on Monday that displaced four residents and their dog—crews from Chesapeake and Virginia Beach worked to extinguish the flames while the American Red Cross assisted the family in finding temporary housing.

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares warned consumers as 23andMe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and plans to sell most of its assets.
