Manassas City Council approves Center Street rezoning, paving the way for new apartments, parking garage

A proposal for over 160 apartments and a new public parking garage in Old Town Manassas is moving forward. The Manassas City Council voted 3-1 Monday to advance the project along Center Street through a rezoning from industrial and commercial to planned city center. The first-reading vote followed public comments from residents both supporting and opposing the development at the former Manassas Ice and Fuel Company, or MIFCO, site, which the city purchased for over $3 million last year. Those opposed to the development raised concerns about increased traffic near schools and downtown, potential costs to taxpayers, unanswered questions about the city’s financial obligations and whether the proposed buildings would diminish Old Town’s historic character. Some asked the council to delay the decision or consider a smaller project. Supporters argued the development could attract more visitors, increase foot traffic and bring additional customers to downtown businesses. Others said the underused property needs redevelopment and that the project could contribute to the city’s economic growth. MLG Construction Management submitted the unsolicited development proposal under the Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act in September 2025. The council approved an interim development agreement May 11, and the city later initiated the rezoning process.

Defense rests its case in Naresh Bhatt murder trial, verdict could come as soon as Tuesday

Editor's note: This story contains graphic imagery and deals with suicide. A 10-minute stretch of cross-examination from prosecutor Matthew Sweet across four rebuttal witnesses on Monday headlined day 18 of the Naresh Bhatt murder trial. Sweet's fast-paced line of questioning set the stage for a jury verdict in Manassas as soon as Tuesday evening. Beyond that, proceedings would resume Thursday due to the midweek Veterans Day holiday. In order of Monday afternoon's testimony, the four rebuttal witnesses reappearing on recall were: Sgt. Brady Pellath from Manassas Park police Gita Kafle , Mamta Kafle Bhatt's mother Capt. Dustin Walker , also from Manassas Park police Mahesh Kafle , Mamta's brother Both Gita and Mahesh Kafle were emotional on the stand and wiped away tears, with Mahesh often letting out heavy sighs and later turning away from the gallery near the end of his testimony. Pellath, Walker and the Kafles testified to the lack of any evidence that would suggest a suicide – with Gita Kafle calling her daughter "very strong" and "educated." "She will struggle, but she will survive," Gita Kafle said, recalling Mamta's stance on her marital hardship and early stages of a potential divorce in 2023 or early 2024.
