At about 10 square miles, Manassas isn’t a large city. And when it comes to the available on which to build, there’s not much left.
At Monday night’s City Council meeting, this fact was highlighted as city leaders reviewed the Manassas Comprehensive Plan, a document that will outline and guide development in the city of the next 20 years.
Business in Manassas is looking up, according to the city’s economic development director.
In fact, there are more jobs available right now in the city than there are people to fill them. “The city is prosperous,” said city economic development director Patrick Small during a city council meeting on Monday, January 27.

Can you imagine using the shoulder lane on Interstate 95 to get where you’re going in Northern Virginia?
State transportation officials can. In fact, in a process they call “hardening the shoulders,” they’re proposing turning the emergency pull-off area on both the north and southbound sides of the highway into travel lanes.
