Sign of the times: Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber puts longtime home on the market

A for-sale sign in the front yard at 800 Country Club Road makes clear that the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce plans to leave its longtime home. For Chris Quinn, president and CEO of the chamber since 2021, the sign signals something more: the beginning of a new chapter for the nonprofit organization that has been supporting area businesses since 1916.

New laws could bring more backyard homes to Maryland and Virginia

New state laws are making it easier to build ADUs across Maryland and Virginia. Why it matters: The push for more local ADUs — accessory dwelling units, or small housing units built on the same land as a bigger home — comes as the region sees a housing crunch . Driving the news: As of this month, Maryland jurisdictions are required to have adopted laws allowing the construction of ADUs on properties with single-family homes. And a law taking effect in Virginia next summer requires that local governments allow ADUs to be built by-right on single-family lots. State of play: Some localities, including Montgomery County, Arlington and Alexandria, had already allowed ADUs under their own rules. The state laws could have a bigger impact in places like Prince George's and Prince William counties. Meanwhile, ADUs have been allowed in D.C. for about a decade. What they're saying: Interest in building ADUs in Maryland has picked up since the new legislation's deadline was announced, says Pavel Kazenkov, founder of Capital ADU , which builds these structures in the DMV. He anticipates the same happening in Virginia next year. "Most people don't realize that they can even do this," he says. "So

This Tiny West Virginia Town is Having a Full-On Renaissance

More on the people, places, and culture defining Arlington, McLean and Falls Church. Thirteen years ago, a drive down Main Street in Wardensville, West Virginia, would have sailed you past a 7-Eleven, a Dollar General and a handful of mom-and-pops that had seen better days. You probably wouldn’t have bothered to stop in the tiny town (population 270) along the Cacapon River, less than two hours from the nation’s capital.
