The developer behind the Mill at Occoquan, a seven-story mixed-use project that would bring 80 condominiums, retail and restaurant space along the Occoquan River, is sweetening the deal with an offer to purchase and preserve the historic Rockledge Mansion and build the town’s first paid parking garage.


A major development proposed along the Occoquan River took a step closer to reality Tuesday, with the Occoquan Planning Commission voting unanimously to allow zoning exceptions for building height, residential use in a commercial zone, and a setback from the property boundary.

Fairfax Water will sound the siren on Wednesday, November 18, at 10 a.m. According to the water service’s website, the sirens were installed to warn residents of the Town of Occoquan, which lies below the dam, “in the highly unlikely” even of a massive failure.
