Board approves Sandberg Development headquarters in Prince William County
Summary
The board approved a request from Sandberg Development to locate its U.S. business headquarters in Manassas, citing economic-development benefits and 55 U.S. employees already in the county; the applicant said the move will support planned U.S. manufacturing and expansion.
The Board of Supervisors approved a consolidated item (7d) to allow Sandberg Development to locate U.S. business operations and expand manufacturing capacity in Prince William County. Matthew Casiano, president of Sandberg Development Inc., described the company as a Sweden-based group that moved offices to Manassas in 2016 and has grown to 55 U.S. employees, with 31 based in Manassas.
Casiano said the company is shifting toward U.S. manufacturing to reduce supply-chain risk and will look for partners to support that effort; he thanked the county—economic development team and Supervisor Tom Gordy for assistance. Planning and economic development staff recommended approval and the measure passed unanimously.
Christina Wynne, director of Economic Development and Tourism, briefed the board on the parcel history (RFP in 2018, purchase agreement and 2021 rezoning approvals for a town-center development) and clarified that conversations with George Mason University about student-housing uses are ongoing and not finalized.
