There is new development happening at Marumsco Plaza.
A new 14,850 square foot building is under construction at the front of the plaza next to busy Route 1 in Woodbridge.
Central Library provides books, reference materials, and online access to people in Manassas, Manassas Park, and those who live in cities’ outskirts in Prince William County.
The 45-year-old building sits on Mathis Avenue on a tract of land just barely located in Prince William. The land was a gift from Manassas Park.
