The Manassas Park Governing Body is scheduled to make a pivotal decision on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, regarding a proposed amendment that could alter the development sequence of the City Center at Manassas Park, known as Park Central. The amendment under consideration would allow the construction of 110 residential apartments before a promised office building, a shift from the original development agreement.
