PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — A plan to develop 400 homes and a new mixed-use community on an old dairy farm outside Manassas is moving forward.

The houses would sit on Kline Farm, a 100-acre tract of land in Prince William County that abutts Manassas City, where Prince William Parkway meets Wellington Road and Liberia Avenues. Homes, offices, and retail shops would replace the old grain silos that stand on the property today.
