Town Council Arrives at Consensus on Joint Tourism Agreement with the County

A high-stakes work session of the Town Council on November 9 covered a wide variety of business items, including the possibility that two new centrifuges housed in a building to be constructed for that purpose might replace the less effective process represented by the rotary fan press currently being used for dewatering, in which liquids are separated from solids. While this acquisition indicates a significant financial investment, it could save the Town as much as $100,000 per year. Also, the council heard from Warren County Economic Development Director Patrick Barker about six target industries the Board of Supervisors has embraced, inviting the Town to do the same. Last, the council added an item at the beginning of the meeting concerning the much-discussed and revised Town-County joint tourism agreement.

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.
