A 62-year-old man was found unconscious and pronounced dead at a Manassas car wash on June 29. No signs of foul play have been identified. The daily blotter also includes a stabbing during a robbery, an assault with bleach, and several other arrests and investigations.
These incidents were reported between June 26 and June 29 across Prince William and Stafford counties.
The Manassas City Council on June 22, 2026, approved the next phase of residential development at the Landing at Cannon Branch (also referred to as Gateway Landing at Cannon Branch or Manassas Gateway/Landing at Cannon Branch), including requirements for a new waterfront park and trail to enhance public access and walkability in the area.
In a unanimous vote, the council approved a proffer amendment that splits the remaining 220 residential units into two buildings: 100 units on the former CSC site and 120 units along the waterfront. The overall project total remains capped at 500 residential units, consistent with the 2016 proffer.
The Manassas Park Governing Body unanimously approved the FY2026 A2 Budget Amendment during a special meeting on June 23, 2026, at City Hall. The amendment increases the General Fund by $6,550,328 to $101,633,714, primarily driven by unanticipated land sales and proffers.
City Manager Carl Cole presented the changes. He noted the amendment exceeded the 1% threshold under state law, requiring a public hearing. Cole apologized for the timing, explaining he realized the need about 17 days prior, resulting in only five days’ notice for the hearing. “I apologize. Probably could have handled this on consent last week, but anyway, this is routine,” Cole said. He attributed the threshold breach largely to revenue from the Carondelet property sale by the former Manassas Christian School.
