Planning & Land Use: Issues & Projects
Rosemont is a wonderfully livable and walkable neighborhood. The population growth of the metropolitan Washington area continues to drive the demand for denser development. Alexandria is exploring a variety of development projects and zoning changes to accommodate this growth.
We aim to provide you with the objective facts of these developments so you can form your own opinion for how Alexandria can navigate the changing landscape of Northern Virginia.
