Manassas approves rezoning for new townhomes next to elementary school

A Manassas City elementary school will soon have some new neighbors.

On Monday, January 11, the City Council voted to rezone 10 acres of land next to George C. Round Elementary School, at the corner of Godwin and Hastings drives, clearing the way for 28 new townhomes that should sell for as much as $600,000 each.

A single-family home owned by Micheal Vanderpool, a prominent lawyer in the city who personally lobbied for the rezoning, will be demolished to make way for the new homes.
