Written by: Guy Jeffress

In April 2022, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association (aka “NAIOP”), released the results of their national Developer Approvals Index study. The results of the study ranked Prince William County, Virginia in sixth place nationally, with an overall weighted score of 51, and attained a category-leading score of 75 points for “Consistency.” Consistency metrics covered code and ordinance updates, time frames for completed reviews, approval processes, feedback across different organizational levels and functions, including published approvals for project phases, and staff-based results, such as tenure, training, and their ability to handle complex projects. In short, Prince William County, Virginia is open for business.

For the attorneys at Vanderpool, Frostick & Nishanian, P.C., the study reiterated what we already knew, i.e., that Prince William County, Virginia, is a national leader when it comes to the provision of building development services and the approval of innovative projects including world-class data center infrastructure, bio/life science incubators, and higher education.
