Officials put brakes on plan to study redevelopment of 20 acres behind Manassas Museum

MANASSAS — Leaders put the brakes on a proposed redevelopment study for 20 acres of land south of Downtown Manassas.

Councilman Mark Aveni on Thursday told the city’s land use committee that redeveloping the land behind the Manassas Museum, between Buckner Road to Prince William Street, into a mixed historical district with urban single-family homes “could be the most significant development in Manassas since the railroad came through.”

He urged the committee to ask the city planning and zoning staff to review his proposal and come up with recommendations on how to redevelop it.
