New Business

Topics of discussion: GMU said they have a 2,500 new car lot which is heavily utilized, University Mall project was turned into the county and sent back to the owners for revision, new hotel at GMU, Issue of Tapestry Drive parking. The county has put up “no parking” signs on the east side of Roberts Road in designated areas. There are only two signs now, which would be improved if supplemented by at least one more sign. VDOT is giving warnings for the first couple of weeks.
