Prince William County Occoquan District Supervisor Kenny Boddye said the team’s option to purchase 200 acres of land at Interstate 95, and Prince William Parkway and Interstate 95 generated many concerns. Traffic congestion, affordable housing, and the effect on the environment are concerns Boddye noted in a newsletter to constituents.
“From what I have read, the Commanders’ search for a new site is still in exploratory stages. The Landing is reported to be one of several sites under consideration for mixed-use development and year-round entertainment venue that the team says could attract visitors in the off-season,” Boddye writes. “I have not spoken with team representatives, and no rezoning application has been submitted to the County for consideration. Additionally, the General Assembly has yet to approve the creation of a Football Stadium Authority — which state legislators have publicly identified as a necessary step for the team to locate anywhere in Virginia.”
