Prince William County has partnered with the Urban Land Institute
Washington and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments
to explore strategic improvements for the Sudley Road Redevelopment Corridor
The recommendations developed through this effort will lay the groundwork for a future Small Area Plan
guiding long-term redevelopment and investment in the corridor
A panel of public and private sector professionals from across the region—including transportation and land use planning experts
and developers —collaborated through ULI’s Technical Advisory Panel
to assess redevelopment opportunities and propose strategic enhancements
The TAP’s recommendations focus on a phased approach to development
pedestrian safety improvements and initiatives to better connect existing community resources while incentivizing future redevelopment
“The TAP process has provided us with valuable insights and strategic recommendations to transform the Sudley Road corridor into a more connected
vibrant and accessible area,” said Prince William County Planning Director Tanya Washington
“These recommendations will inform potential short-term strategies as well as longer-term efforts through a future Sudley Road small area plan to guide thoughtful redevelopment that strengthens economic potential and enhances quality of life for this community.”
The two-day TAP process engaged a broad range of stakeholders from the Sudley Road area
County staff and residents from the City of Manassas
The panel also welcomed insight from the County’s Brentsville
and Coles Magisterial District Supervisors
as the focus area for the TAP crossed the three districts
Manassas National Battlefield Park's superintendent also participated in recognition of the corridor's significance as a regional visitor destination
Brentsville District Supervisor Tom Gordy emphasized the importance of public engagement as redevelopment efforts take shape.
“Community engagement is going to be very important in getting this right as we move forward,” Gordy said
other stakeholders that live within the Sudley Road Corridor
We’re going to have to be very intentional about this
and we’re absolutely committed to doing that.”
Identified as a redevelopment area in the county’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan
the Sudley Road corridor serves as a major regional and local transportation route and connection between residential communities
while also welcoming approximately 700,000 visitors annually to Manassas National Battlefield Park.
Prince William County Executive Chris Shorter expressed appreciation to the experts who participated in the panel from surrounding jurisdictions and to ULI and Metropolitan Washington COG for the regional collaboration
Shorter described the corridor as a key economic driver and opportunity for community development in the county.
“The Sudley Road Corridor represents a critically important economic development thruway,” said Shorter
“The types of retail we want to see...the types of amenities...and I would even say the types of community development projects
recreation centers and all of the things that you would expect of a growing community
All that is possible right here on this corridor.”
Prince William County Department of Economic Development and Tourism Executive Director Christina Winn highlighted the TAP’s findings as a promising opportunity to strengthen the corridor’s economic potential.
“It's really the opportunity to reimagine what this corridor can be; and then how do you drive more jobs and investment into the corridor to provide that entire quality of life,” said Winn
“This corridor has so many amenities and really great bones about it
I think if we can continue to cultivate and curate the right types of businesses
it will just really be rebirthed into a fantastic commercial corridor again.”
In approximately two months, ULI will produce a detailed report of the TAP’s recommendations presented on March 6 to county staff, members of the Board of County Supervisors and the public. The ULI TAP report, when available, will be posted on the Planning Office website at www.pwcva.org/planning.

The Sudley Road Corridor in Prince William County has been chosen for the regional Technical Assistance Panel, or TAP
program during Fiscal Year 2025 by the Urban Land Institute Washington and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments
is bordered by the Manassas Battlefield Park to the north
Ashton Avenue to the west and a section of Williamson Boulevard to the east.
The purpose of a TAP is to bring together regional experts to evaluate an area with unique circumstances
Identified by Prince William County as a redevelopment corridor in the county's 2040 Comprehensive Plan
equity and transportation issues along the Sudley Road corridor
The goal is to improve the quality of life for residents and enhance the economic viability of the corridor
This study will lay the groundwork for a future small area plan for the Sudley Road area.
“The Sudley Road corridor plays an important role in Prince William County as a regional and local transportation connector and retail center and as the home of a diverse community,” said Tanya Washington
the county’s Director of the Planning Office
“The Technical Assistance Panel is a great opportunity to identify ways we can enhance Sudley Road for the benefit of the county and the region.”
The two-day TAP brainstorming session is tentatively scheduled for early 2025 and will include experts in real estate
economic development and planning from around the region
architects and real estate professionals; and generally convened with eight to 10 experts that best match the needs of areas requiring study
and will ultimately produce a presentation to the sponsor organization
followed by a written report from the Urban Land Institute with expert recommendations.
The scope for the TAP application was developed jointly by the Prince William County Planning Office and Department of Economic Development and Tourism
The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments identified the corridor with input from the county as an Equity Emphasis Area
the Prince William County Comprehensive Plan designates Sudley Road for future high-capacity transit
$20 million project to improve safety and accessibility on Sudley Road between Godwin Drive and Battleview Parkway.
"The Sudley Road Corridor serves as the western gateway to Prince William County and a key regional hub for employment
education and amenities," said Christina Winn
Director of Economic Development and Tourism for the county
"As investment interest in redevelopment grows
it's crucial to guide these developments in a way that aligns with the county's objectives."
The report with study results and expert recommendations should be available for review within about two months after the TAP adjourns or by the end of June 2025.
"We are excited to have been selected for the Technical Assistance Panel program and to partner with ULI Washington and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments," said County Executive Chris Shorter
"This opportunity will enable us to gather expert insights and recommendations to advance our continued efforts to enhance economic vitality and promote sustainable development along the Sudley Road Corridor."

A pair of new data centers could be coming to Wellington and Sudley roads in Manassas as a result of a vote Tuesday
April 1 by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors
A rendering of what the data center might look like
The site: The Wellington Glen Technology Park data centers were approved for the northwest corner of Sudley Manor and Wellington Roads
The site: A view of the intersection of Sudley Manor and Wellington roads in Manassas
where the Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved a data center complex on 50 acres
The Prince William County Board of Supervisors approved a data center complex off Wellington Road in Manassas Tuesday that is larger than is allowed by county zoning rules and close to two residential subdivisions
The Prince William County Board of Supervisors approved a data center complex off Wellington Road in Manassas Tuesday that is larger than is allowed by county zoning rules and close to two residential subdivisions
The vote came after the board heard both the developer and the supervisor who represents the area argue that without a new set of “proffers,” or legally binding conditions agreed to by both the county and the developer
the project would be more impactful to area residents
The Wellington Glen Technology Park passed on a 5-3 vote after more than two hours of discussion of its pros and cons
allows for a 75-foot-tall building on a 49.5-acre wooded site west of the intersection of Wellington Road and Sudley Manor Drive
Its building would be a little more than 500 feet from the nearest houses in two subdivisions
Arcadia Run and the Independence neighborhood
It’s estimated to require about 200 megawatts of power
or the equivalent needed for about 50,000 homes
whose Brentsville District includes the site
said it was clear to him that a data center would be built there one way or another since it lies within an area where the facilities are allowed by right
it's not a matter of whether or not we're going to get a data center here
He said he had worked with the applicant to “manage it down” to minimize the impact on the nearby community
That included a reduction in proposed height from 90 feet – which was rejected earlier by the planning commission – to 65 feet plus rooftop equipment
Other concessions included a windowed façade to make its building – or two adjacent structures
according to one plan -- look like an office building
Another promised that noise from the finished center would not exceed the maximum levels being proposed in a new county noise ordinance
An earlier submission proposed a building or buildings of 983,279 square feet
The approved proffer statement called for one half that size at 475,000 square feet
But county staffers pointed out that if had been built under by-right rules
it would have been limited to 235,000 square feet
The desire to build a larger data center was the main reason developers pursued the proffer amendment
Drivers heading along Interstate 66 near U.S
29 in Gainesville might have noticed the enorm…
the planning staff said the increased building size was mitigated by its windowed design and tree buffering
“We've worked on this to get to a place that I feel a lot more comfortable with
and that has significantly come down,” Gordy said
signaled her disapproval and voted against the project along with Supervisors Bob Weir and Yesli Vega
“I really am running out of patience just with data centers,” she said
They deserve us putting our best foot forward
But I just don't see myself supporting this project.”
A dozen people spoke during a public hearing
Voicing approval were four data center building trades workers
who said data center construction had been a huge boon for the county
the chief operating officer of Dynaelectric of Dulles
in this community “the majority of the construction (workers) would be out of work.”
Prince William County is on track to become the new data center capital of the world
They mentioned data centers’ tremendous energy draw and the erection of new high-powered transmission lines to serve them
They also said they were appalled that the supervisors might allow data center buildings so close to homes – the closest residence
argued that because the project was asking for twice as much floor space than was allowed under by-right rules
“Every single proffer that they are offering is a solution to a problem that they are creating
She also pointed out that there was nothing special in the developer’s offer to keep noise below 50 decibels
since that will be the limit when the supervisors adopt a planned revised noise ordinance
data center noise could still be a problem for nearby residents
a consultant helping design a new county sound ordinance sensitive to data center noise took measurements near the Arcadia Run complex
apparently from the Iron Mountain data centers across the street
to be well in violation of the proposed new limits
The proposed ordinance would limit noise to 47 decibels at night and 52 during the day
more noise from a new data center could only worsen the problem

VA — With the Route 28 Bypass project scrapped
officials will have to look for other solutions to fix congestion in the Route 28 corridor within Manassas
We are surveying readers to hear your perspectives on fixing the embattled road
The bypass
had been a years-long effort to address the growing traffic on Route 28
The project would have involved extending Godwin Drive Across Sudley Road as a four-lane divided road connecting with Route 28 north of Bull Run Stream in Fairfax County
Prince William County supervisors had voted for the bypass option in 2020. However, increasing costs and lack of support from Fairfax County were key reasons leading supervisors to vote 5-3 on Tuesday to cancel the project
If a bypass isn't the solution to fixing Route 28
we want to hear which alternatives you prefer
Is it a road widening or other road improvements
Could it be targeted efforts to get more people working closer to home

Like many road names throughout Prince William County
Sudley Road and Sudley Manor Road find their beginnings with the influential Carter Family
Landon Carter was deeded a portion of land from the Middle Bull Run tract in northern Prince William
While Landon primarily lived in Richmond County at Sabine Hall
the task of developing the Middle Bull Run tract was given to two of his sons: John Carter and Landon Carter II
Landon Carter II built a large plantation called Pittsylvania on this tract of land
north of Bull Run in Fairfax County around 1760
grew throughout the 18th and 19th centuries
While historians today do not know where the town’s name specifically originates from
the community may have gotten its name from Sudley Mansion or Sudley Springs
a sulpher spring nearby with medicinal values
Sudley Road and Sudley Manor Road’s names originate from this historic community
was in operation supplying the nearby community with wood
Sudley Methodist Church was built on land donated by Landon Carter II
After the Manassas Gap Railroad was completed to Gainesville in 1852
there was easier access to town resulting in the growth of Sudley
New structures in town included the Sudley Springs Hotel
and a wheelwright shop by the mid 19th Century
The Civil War brought destruction to the Sudley community
Many buildings in the area were destroyed or heavily damaged during the two battles in Manassas
Pittsylvania burned down in the midst of the war in 1862
The Thornberry residence became a post office after the war
by the late 19th century the town again fell into decline
The Depression of 1893 forced the hotel to close and it burned in the early 1900s
The Sudley Springs Post Office closed in 1903
The mill closed in 1910 and was dismantled in the 1930s
Carter’s Sudley Mansion fell into disrepair by the early 1900s and was dismantled
Sudley Methodist Church burned down and rebuilt in 1922
The Thornberry House still stands and is currently preserved by the National Park Service
While the historic community does not exist anymore as it did hundreds of years ago near Catharpin Run and Bull Run
there is still a Sudley today that takes its name from these historical roots
The Sudley community today spans 1.6 miles the length of Sudley Manor Drive from Route 234 until the road ends near Splashdown Waterpark

A stretch of Virginia’s long-anticipated 66 Express Lanes are open for business
but there are a few things drivers should be aware of before taking advantage of them
The westernmost stretch of the 66 Express Lanes welcomed their first commuters ahead of schedule last week
offering a more streamlined drive from U.S
The 9-mile segment is free of charge for now
according to the Virginia Department of Transportation
granting drivers a chance to familiarize themselves with the new entry and exit points before an eventual shift to electronic tolling
That grace period will be especially handy for drivers unaccustomed to using express lanes with limited exits
The idea works much the same as current express lanes along the Capital Beltway and Interstate 95 elsewhere in Northern Virginia
but for those wanting an explainer — or a refresher — we’re here to help
WTOP’s Dave Dildine toured the eastbound and westbound express lanes between Gainesville and Centreville after their opening this week:
Eastbound drivers entering the new express lanes in Gainesville and Manassas are committed until reaching their end at Route 28 — where construction continues on the rest of the express corridor
eastbound travelers wanting to head northbound onto Route 28 have the option of either taking an exit to Route 28
or funneling into the I-66 main lanes at the I-66/Route 28 interchange
Eastbound drivers on I-66 have three opportunities to join the express lanes as it stands: At their origin before Route 29
via a slip ramp along the left side just east of the Sudley Road overpass
or from northbound Sudley Road on a flyover that splits from the eastbound ramp before reaching the general purpose lanes
There is also eastbound access from Balls Ford Road and University Boulevard
Keep in mind that if you join the eastbound express lanes at any point
you’re with them all the way to Route 28
Westbound drivers can enter the express lanes from the left side just beyond Va
westbound travelers currently have a few opportunities to exit the express lanes mid-route instead of running the full nine-mile stretch
drivers headed to Sudley Road or the Prince William Parkway can use a flyover ramp to rejoin the I-66 general purpose lanes before leaving the highway
Signage for this ramp bills it as a “local” exit
Westbound drivers will then encounter two new exits in Manassas and Gainesville
links with Balls Ford Road and a large park-and-ride lot after Sudley Road
A second exit connects westbound travelers with University Boulevard soon after the Prince William Parkway
That exit takes drivers directly to Route 29
Drivers with experience using Northern Virginia’s other express routes will probably find the new 66 Express Lanes familiar
On-ramps and exits are limited compared to general purpose lanes
“The main-to-express exchange in Manassas is a lot like the one on I-395 near Edsall Road and
which only have a few dedicated ramps to Seminary Road and the Pentagon
the exits are limited,” Dildine said
the express lanes are similar to the others in Northern Virginia.”
It’s free for now, but it won’t be forever. Tolling, once implemented, will vary in real-time. Overhead signs placed ahead of entryways will flash a dynamic toll rate that fluctuates with demand
Electronic toll gantries will log each vehicle’s distance traveled and charge solo drivers through their E-ZPass according to the rate at their time of entry
Drivers with at least one passenger will be able to continue using the express lanes for free as long as they’re equipped with an E-ZPass Flex set to carpool mode
But that requirement will be upped to two passengers plus the driver once the remaining 66 Express Lanes open later this year
mirroring high-occupancy vehicle rules along the Capital Beltway
Commuters will pay the same rate regardless of vehicle type
with one notable exception that sets the 66 Express Lanes apart from the rest: Large trucks
barred from the area’s other express routes
Motorcycles can ride toll-free without an E-ZPass
Confused? We don’t blame you. It’s a lot to soak in for someone not already used to the concept of express lanes, and that’s exactly why VDOT is giving drivers a chance to grow acquainted with the new pattern before debuting tolls. Think of it like a free trial — and if you don’t already have an E-ZPass or E-ZPass Flex, now is a great moment to sign up for one
“Enjoy the free ride while it lasts,” Dildine said
“We don’t yet know how high the tolls for solo drivers will be
so now is a good time to acclimate to the flow.”
Work is wrapping up on the route’s eastern half
That stretch will offer more exit options for eastbound drivers past Route 28
including dedicated ramps to Monument Drive
Vaden Drive and the Beltway’s own express lanes
we’re all eyes on the nine miles between routes 28 and 29 for a sense of how the rollout is going
there is a little weaving in Manassas where the local flyover ramp meets the right exit lane for Sudley Road
but the backup hasn’t been too impactful yet,” Dildine said
noting that drivers “seem to be enjoying the higher speed limit
which is a non-variable 70 miles per hour posted.”

A new Bob & Edith’s Diner location is opening Wednesday morning

Everything is fresh; every ingredient “hits the grill raw,” said owner Greg Bolton
who recommends the “killer” French toast and country fried steak
as well as the home fries that are prepared by hand from whole
is the seventh location for the 54-year-old diner business
aiming to open three stores per year and eventually to offer franchises of the family-owned diner
which he calls “a dying breed” of restaurant
Bob & Edith’s hours in Manassas will run from 6 a.m
giving the staff some time to work out any opening kinks
But Bolton says that after a ceremonial ribbon-cutting at the end of the month
like Bob & Edith’s other locations in Arlington
Stores eight and nine are coming soon to Fairfax
The Manassas location will be the first to offer Bolton’s recipe for chipped beef
which he recommends eating on home fries instead of the typical toast with an accompaniment of scrambled eggs
He’ll be cooking the first batch at 5:30 a.m
The restaurant seats about 100 people and is first-come
first-served — though some accommodation can be made for very large parties

Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor assisted living in Manassas
A sign erected outside Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor long-term care center in May recognizes the hard work of the facility's staff
Seven residents of a Manassas assisted living facility have died as a result of an outbreak of COVID-19 that has so far sickened 16 people
including 11 residents and five staff members
informed residents and their family members in letters this past week that 11 residents
including four in assisted living and seven in memory care
which was obtained by the Prince William Times
confirmed the outbreak in a statement Monday
Harper said Arbor Terrace at Sudley Manor had taken several measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as state and local officials in an attempt to avoid an outbreak
like thousands of other senior-living facilities across the U.S.
Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor was unable to escape the pandemic
“Despite having a pandemic plan in place and our heightened efforts as the situation has evolved
this is a disease that disproportionately impacts the elderly and those with severe underlying medical conditions,” Harper said
“We are navigating uncharted waters caring for those most at risk
and our hearts and prayers go out to everyone who is impacted.”
Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor received testing kits from the Prince William Health District and tested residents and staff
But only residents and staff members showing symptoms of the COVID-19 were tested
The facility also screened all staff and residents for symptoms of COVID-19 daily
required the “use of [personal protective equipment] by all staff and residents
enhanced cleaning procedures … and require[ed] residents to quarantine in their residences,” Harper said
“To support our staff and retain the excellent caregivers we have in place
provided wage increases and paid for childcare when schools closed,” he added
Harper also said the facility has updated residents and their family members regularly through written notices as well as a dedicated COVID-19 page on its website
Other Arbor Company facilities report cases
According to the Virginia Department of Social Services
had no reported complaints since at least 2016 and had no violations in its most recent state inspection
But Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor is not the only assisted facility run by the Arbor Company to report COVID-19 cases and deaths
The company operates 40 assisted living facilities in 11 states
Maryland and New Jersey have also reported COVID-19 cases and deaths
according to records in each of those states
some of the states where Arbor Company facilities operate do not release the names of individual long-term care facilities where outbreaks and deaths have occurred
Long-term care facilities hit hard by pandemic
Individuals that reside in long-term care facilities are among the most vulnerable to the coronavirus, given their close living quarters and underlying health conditions, according to the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation
which recently reported that 4,000 such facilities have so far accounted for at least 51,000 COVID-19 cases and about 10,000 deaths across the U.S
in Gainesville; and now at Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor
Those are known to the public only because residents or their family members contacted the local press. Because Virginia’s privacy laws treat facilities as individuals, VDH officials say they cannot release the names of individual facilities with reported outbreaks
the other four long-term care facilities with outbreaks in the county are so far not publicly known
Across Virginia, there have been 2,902 COVID-19 cases and 405 deaths – about 56% of the state’s total -- tied to outbreaks at long-term care centers as of Tuesday, May 5, according to the VDH website
State officials formed a long-term care facility task force about three weeks ago after 45 residents died after a COVID-19 outbreak at the Canterbury Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in Richmond
A spokesman for Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor declined to say whether the task force had assisted the facility with the outbreak
director of the Prince William County Health District
said her office has reached out to all the long-term care facilities in the county since the pandemic began to offer preventative guidance and information about infection control
the health district trained long-term care facility staff on properly fitting face masks and provided PPE as it became available
“If particular facilities need help with obtaining sampling kits and testing
“We have discouraged sharing staff with other facilities.”
Ansher provided a long list of other advice the health district provided the facilities
including how to monitor for COVID-19 by taking residents’ temperatures and checking their symptoms twice a day
limiting visitors “except for compassionate reasons,” stopping communal eating or activities and “planning for a surge” by separating residents with COVID-19 or symptoms from other residents and serving them with separate staff
36 residents of Prince William County had died of COVID-19
They included 10 residents between the ages of 60 and 69
nine between the ages of 70 and 79 and 10 over the age of 80
it’s not publicly known how many local victims died as a result of outbreaks in long-term care facilities
UPDATE: This story has been updated to note that only symptomatic residents and staff at Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor -- not all residents and staff -- were tested for COVID-19

Birmingham Green nursing home announced today that 10 residents and nine staff members have …
After refusing to do so for months, Virginia officials on Friday released information about COVID-19 outbreaks in specific nursing homes and l…
