Conflicts and open questions

  • Supervisors said the developer must pay $5 million that can benefit county schools when the first permit is issued.
  • DCD (Aug. 2025) names Oasis Digital Properties as the developer and gives 485 acres on the north side of James Madison Parkway; earlier reporting gave about 500 acres and named Potomac Development Group.
