PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. -- The verdict is still out on whether to approve construction of 45 new homes on one of the last open spaces in eastern Prince William County.
The county's Board of Supervisors deferred a vote that is now scheduled for Feb. 14, 2017, on approving Mia's Meadow, a planned rezoning of 19 acres of agricultural land to planned mixed residential at the intersection of Minnieville and Spriggs roads. Single family homes tightly packed on the parcel, and new homeowners and residents would join their neighbors in nearby Hope Hill Crossing, a newer development located on what used to be a farm.
Residents and members of the Board of Supervisors are concerned about the number of new public school students the development could generate for already reeling with classroom overcrowding issues. Official numbers from county staff indicate Mia's Meadow would generate 23 new elementary, nine high school, and seven new middle school students at Montclair Elementary, Hylton High, and Saunders Middle schools, respectively.
