Due to multiple employees testing positive for COVID-19, the city of Manassas Park’s social services lobby is closed the rest of the week.

DSS staff will continue to check the drop box, faxes, and email in order to continue providing services, the city said in a Facebook post.

The city said it anticipates reopening on Monday, Dec. 5.

“We are taking all measures to ensure a safe return to work for both staff and residents, including but not limited to office space sanitizing, quarantining, masking, and follow-up COVID testing,” the post said.

Residents are encouraged to check the city’s website for updates.

Manassas awarded $3.8M in Northern Virginia Transportation Authority funds for new roundabout

By InsideNoVa.com
The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority has approved funding for the city of Manassas to transform the current intersection at Sudley Road, Centreville Road and Prescott Avenue just northeast of Old Town into a $3.8 million roundabout. Matthew Arcieri, director of planning and community development for the city, presented the City Council with an update on capital improvement program transportation projects in the city during a July 15 work session. The roundabout has been approved for funding from the authority after funding for the project was snubbed by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s RAISE grant program for the third time in 2022. The goal of the roundabout is to make the area safer and quicker for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists, city officials said. “The big piece of news we have here is this project is now fully funded for construction by the NVTA, so no local dollars,” Arcieri told the council. “They looked at this project, and it was actually ranked fifth in the region out of 24 projects … we compete very well against the big guys.”
