The Manassas Park Governing Body is scheduled to make a pivotal decision on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, regarding a proposed amendment that could alter the development sequence of the City Center at Manassas Park, known as Park Central. The amendment under consideration would allow the construction of 110 residential apartments before a promised office building, a shift from the original development agreement.

Initially, the development agreement required the construction of an office building before any residential units. However, due to changes in market conditions, particularly the downturn in demand for office space prompted by the increase in remote work, city officials are considering a change in strategy.
