PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — The Virginia Department of Transportation is building new commuter lots as part of the Interstate 66 toll lanes project.
The first new lot is being built near the intersections of I-66 and Route 15 in Gainesville, will have 200 available spaces and is scheduled to open in early 2019.
In the wake of Amazon’s announcement to build its second headquarters (dubbed HQ2) in Arlington’s Crystal City neighborhood, real estate prices are projected to soar and officials are mixed on how to ensure affordable housing for Northern Virginia residents.
Finding housing in a rapidly growing community has been a concern in the area for years. A recent survey conducted by Suburban Virginia Republican Coalition (SUV GOP) found that suburban residents in the area named affordable housing as one of their four key issues, in addition to commuter transportation, property taxes, and education.
