Manassas Community Development is a Difference Maker

The Community Development Department is a key partner in the growth and success of the City of Manassas. The Department, led by Director Matt Arcieri, administers the City’s planning and development efforts including: long-range planning, land and building development, housing activity, and property code enforcement.

To the business community, our staff are real difference makers. A smaller, more attentive group of professionals than the development community encounters elsewhere exemplifies the City’s core value of Customer Service. They provide hands-on guidance for businesses and new projects through processes like permitting, zoning, land development, and more. This focus helps our customers successfully navigate the development and start-up process, reducing the time it takes to get operations up and running.

The Department also helps shape the future of Manassas in its long-range planning efforts. They guide the creation of new parks, help foster new housing development projects, improve transportation and pedestrian safety, remedy blighted property, and improve the quality of City neighborhoods. Community Development’s efforts have helped transform Historic Downtown Manassas, improve the City’s appeal and competitiveness in attracting new businesses, and create a more sustainable, vibrant Manassas for all.
