Woodbridge, Va. –– There’s long been talk of a commuter ferry in North Woodbridge, wider roads and new urbanized construction. Now officials will hold a meeting to discuss how to redevelop the area.
Prince William Supervisor Frank Principi has announced a smart growth symposium to be held from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 14, at the Harbour View Events Center in Woodbridge.
Speakers at the event will include Dr. Stephen Fuller of George Mason University’s Center for Regional Analysis, and Executive Director of the Coalition of Smart Growth Stewart Schultz.
The event is free, but attendees are encouraged to make reservations by calling 703-792-4646 or by emailing [email protected].
“For those who have a home or business in Woodbridge, I encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to be involved in designing the future of your community,” said Principi in a press release.
There will also be a discussion of how to fund improvements in the area.
This meeting comes after the Virginia Department of Transportation last week unveiled plans to widen U.S. 1 between Occoquan Road and Annapolis Way to six lanes, and add an interchange at U.S. 1 and Gordon Boulevard (Va. 123).
Some business owners who attending the plan’s unveiling said a wider road would have negative impacts on their business.
Officials in Prince William have long said a wider U.S. 1 with improved transit options would be the impetus for new growth in the neighborhood.
The events center is located at 13200 Marina Way in Woodbridge.
