Prince William

Following a controversial party-line vote to approve a 99-home development in the county’s “rural crescent” last week, several members of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors’ Democratic majority have said for the first time that they are open to increased development in the rural area, including for industrial uses such as data centers and “workforce housing.”


A major development proposed along the Occoquan River took a step closer to reality Tuesday, with the Occoquan Planning Commission voting unanimously to allow zoning exceptions for building height, residential use in a commercial zone, and a setback from the property boundary.
