Stafford, Va. –– County leaders passed a resolution Tuesday that will allow more urban development at the Quantico Corporate Center.
The newly approved rezoning encompasses a 15-acre area at the developing business complex off Jefferson Davis Highway (U.S. 1) in Boswell’s Corner, just south of the Prince William County line. New office, hotel and retail establishments will now be allowed at the center –– which is one of four centers county leaders have identified urban growth areas.
“The more companies we can attract to our county, the more quality jobs we can offer to our citizens so that they can work in the community in which they live and enjoy a higher quality of life,” said Stafford Board of Supervisors Chairman Mark Dudenhefer.
Developers of the corporate center complex also plan to extend Corporate Center Drive to Telegraph Road, allowing more drivers to access the complex from U.S. 1.
The Stafford County Board of Supervisors last year was advised by Quantico’s Commander, Col. Daniel Choike, that demolition ranges nearby Boswell’s Corner may hinder growth in the area.
Other areas in Stafford County identified for urban growth are the area at U.S. 1 and Courthouse Road, Falmouth and “Southern Gateway” off Warrenton Road (U.S. 17) and Interstate 95 in south Stafford.
The rezoning comes after officials in Prince William County identified the areas around Triangle and the National Museum of the Marine Corps as urban mixed use areas.
Work began in 2006 on a $49 million project to widen U.S. 1 between Joplin and Brady’s Hill roads. Businesses in the area were demolished to make way for utility relocation and a six-lane highway.
Planners have long-envisioned a village-like development with shops, small businesses and homes.
The widening project is slated to end in March.
