Future of Potomac Shores Rail Station Uncertain

By Uriah Kiser

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — The developers of a the 2,000-acre Potomac Shores project remain at an impasse with railway and state officials – there is still no plan to build a commuter rail station on the property.

The mixed-used neighborhood’s town center, which will be located on the Potomac River and feature a mix of condominiums, apartments, retail shops, office space, and a hotel, hinges on a future Virginia Railway Express Station. The hope is commuters traveling to and from Washington, D.C. would use the station. It would be built on the existing rail line that traverses the property, between VRE stations at Quantico and Rippon in Woodbridge.
