We want the Quartz District to be a good neighbor for decades to come. Any other questions or suggestions about the project?

Please bring Whole Foods or Traders Joes

Elizabeth Davis

Trader Joe’s would be perfect! A Great American Restaurant would be nice too! Local Virginia chain!

Em Oz

There is a wegmans down the street. Whole food or Trader Joe’s would be great. I prefer whole food more though :-)

Sara L

We have been trying to get a Trader Joe’s for years. There is even a fb page and so many of us have tried. A trader joe’s Or Whole Foods would be great. We have a MOM’s but we want more healthier grocers.

Fully support the Great American Restaurant idea. That's probably our favorite group of restaurants and would be great if we didn't have to travel up to Fairfax to eat at one.

How else would you describe the community benefits you’d like to see included in the Quartz District?

There is zero benefit to this other than adding additional traffic on an already over-populated route. Unless you can solve the existing traffic issues first, then please don't bother attempting this project.

This would be an awesome project. It reminds me of One Loudoun in Loudoun County and the people love it. I’m all for it, get it done now!

Ben, we agree with your concerns regarding the existing traffic congestion. Please see our most recent update for more information.

This project seems amazing and very beneficial. We leave the county now to attend areas like this.

I would like to create a holistic school funded by local businesses for folks looking for better school options that are affordable

How do you plan to mitigate traffic? The area is already congested there. This is not good for Prince William.

Rebecca and Connie, we understand your concerns regarding the existing traffic congestion. Please see our most recent update on this issue.

There is always going to be traffic problems in Northern VA. It is just part of where we live. We are an ever growing community. As our community grows traffic is going to grow. We elect County supervisors... Read more...

The goal of the project is to use placemaking design concepts to deliver a vibrant and active mixed-use community. What goal are you most interested in?

Walking and biking trails

My main interest: Being able to drive past that area of Minnieville without sitting in traffic for 30 minutes.

I’m all for it. What a great idea! I live in the area. It is long overdue. Western Prince William County (Gainesville, Haymarket and Nokesville) is already pretty built up but the Eastern Part of Prince... Read more...

Les, thanks for your comments. Our primary goal is to create the kind of amenity rich environment you describe. We recently attended the ICSC retail convention and the interest in this location is strong... Read more...

Les Morris This area doesn’t have Tysons Corner money. I can’t imagine upscale restaurants etc. I could be wrong but I don’t see it

A goal of the Quartz District is to provide other quality of life benefits and opportunities to the community. Which community benefit would you prioritize first?

Transportation improvements

John, we will be working closely with Prince William County to improve the transportation infrastructure in the immediate area. Thanks for your comments.

Tera Beatty

Will you be considering the impact on the surrounding areas of Woodbridge too?? Because you need to. It’s a literal nightmare and this will only make it worse. I won’t stand behind this without WELL thought... Read more...

Connie Teunis

That area is already terribly congested. There are days when it takes 30 minutes to go 1 mile in that area! And the above reply shows the developers are not even considering the impact on traffic beyond... Read more...

I am very excited for the development! Everyone is complaining about traffic but there will always be traffic EVERYWHERE around here. Welcome to NoVa. New developments like this is key to economic growth.

If you want to put commercial use in that's one thing. What we don't need is more dense residential added to the community when our schools are already vastly overcrowded. Might be more appealing with... Read more...
