Town of Purcellville
“The Franklin Johnston Group last week presented its
proposal for the Catoctin Creek Towne Center—a development of multi-family
apartments and an entertainment and sports center on 28 acres between Maple
Avenue and Hirst Road in Purcellville—before a large crowd at the Purcellville
Planning Commission meeting.
The project requires a Comprehensive Plan amendment,
rezoning and special use permit. Once the project has gone through the
regulatory process, the Franklin Johnston Group would purchase the acreage
needed for the multi-family apartment component, while Tilley Entertainment
would purchase the commercial portion of the property, according to a Franklin
Johnston Group representative this week.
The Virginia Beach-based apartment development group, which
manages apartment communities across the country, is proposing to provide more
housing for workforce employees and seniors in the town and in western Loudoun
in general. Bowman Consultants land use planner Chris Mohn cited a lack of
affordable housing in the town, noting it had been 12 years since an apartment
had been built in town.”
