Manassas poised to have first waterfront development with land deal

Manassas is in talks with a developer to create the city's first waterfront destination.

The focus is 40 acres of land that sits along Gateway Boulevard, between Godwin Drive and Prince William Parkway. A Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles office sits on the land.

Manassas City Economic Development Director Patrick Small said a large "destination" tenant would anchor the new development. It won't be a grocery store, and retail would be only a part of the tenant's focus. Small could not provide a potential name of a business that might fill the space negotiations are ongoing.
