The developer of a long-debated planned residential neighborhood centered on 340 acres of land has reduced the number of homes it wants to build.
The Preserve at Long Branch, formerly the Mid County Park and Estate Homes, would now have single-family homes on 102 quarter-acre sized lots, sized between one and four acres, down from the original 118. The project site in the center of Prince William County and residents would use both Classic Springs Way, off Bristow Road, and Classic Springs Drive, off Route 234 to access to the site.

Harold Stephen Lane passed away on September 20, 2020, in Woodbridge, VA at his home in the arms of loved ones after battling lung cancer. Steve was the son of the late Halene Dorsey of Widen, WV. He was born on September 3rd, 1948. He will be missed by many cousins, and friends. He is survived by his still loving former wife, Joan Pearson and his dear friend, Linda Krueger. In addition to serving in the United States Army, Steve had a long and successful career with the U.S. Government Printing Office before retiring in 1994. His greatest joys were fishing, camping, gardening, and golfing. He said, “I gave up hunting because I enjoyed watching the deer more than eating them.” He loved watching the birds in his backyard, especially the hummingbirds. Steve was a diehard Washington Nationals, Redskins, and Capitals fan.
In lieu of flowers, may we suggest donating to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or Capital Caring in Steve’s name.
