"I am in my information gathering phase," Roem stated, explaining her approach to understanding the specific needs of the communities she represents, including Manassas Park, the City of Manassas, the town of Haymarket, and Prince William County.
Roem reassured the council of her support for local projects, such as the much-needed streetlight improvements along Manassas Drive. She asked for updates on federal grants applied for and the amount of city money already allocated to the project to determine how much state coverage is needed.

In a recent session held on October 1, 2024, the Manassas Park Governing Body debated an amendment to the Park Center development contract, allowing the construction of 110 residential apartments before an initially planned office building. This decision represents a significant shift from the original development agreement, adapting to the altered landscape of office space demand due to increased remote work.
The original contract stipulated the construction of an office building before any residential developments could commence. However, citing financial and market constraints, including difficulties securing loans for office space development, the city is now poised to prioritize residential construction.

Initially, the development agreement required the construction of an office building before any residential units. However, due to changes in market conditions, particularly the downturn in demand for office space prompted by the increase in remote work, city officials are considering a change in strategy.
