Stafford supervisors voted 4â3 on Tuesday to rezone a 6-acre parcel at the corner of U.S. 1 and Courthouse Road to become Fountain Parkâa new development of apartments and retail stores that will serve as a gateway to what county officials are calling Downtown Stafford.
âWeâre excited with the opportunity,â said Jeh Hicks, director of community relations for Jarrell Properties of Fredericksburg, which owns the land. âItâs going to be a gathering place where Stafford County residents can meet with their neighbors, their friends, to be able to show off where Stafford County is going.â
Supervisor Mark Dudenhefer introduced the motion to approve the deal between the county and Jarrell, which was opposed by Supervisors Gary Snellings, Crystal Vanuch and Meg Bohmke.
