PWC Works projects reflect our commitment of striving for exceptional customer service, maximizing operational efficiencies, increasing modernization, providing excellent service delivery, and collaborating with the community for a coordinated response that achieves the best possible outcomes for our residents and the overall wellbeing of the county.


What is the Yorkshire Small Area Plan?

The Yorkshire Small Area Plan is the county’s long-term vision for the Yorkshire community. The Yorkshire Small Area Plan project area is bisected by Route 28 (Centreville Road) and is generally bounded by Bull Run and Fairfax County in the north, the City of Manassas Park in the south and west, and Old Centreville Road to the East. During the 2022 Comprehensive Plan Update, Yorkshire was identified as an Activity Center within a Special Planning Area of Prince William County. The Yorkshire Small Area Plan will expand upon this designation and engage residents and stakeholders to formulate a comprehensive small area plan that will define the long-term development framework for Yorkshire. The Plan will assess design, intensity, mobility, schools and compatibility with timelines, aligning with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the Yorkshire Small Area Plan will serve as a catalyst for transformative development, directing future growth with purpose while modernizing public facilities to anticipate and exceed the community’s long-term needs, all while celebrating the culture, arts and distinctive community attributes that make Yorkshire uniquely special.
