BRISTOW, Va. -- The Prince William Board of County Supervisors Tuesday delayed a vote on a rezoning application that would bring 295 new homes to the Nokesville and Bristow area.
The proposed Avendale subdivision would sit on about 125 acres near the intersection of Vint Hill and Nokesville roads.
The project also included a proposal to realign Vint Hill Road.
More than 70 people spoke a public hearing on the proposed development Tuesday night.
Many area residents opposed Avendale, saying it would bring more traffic to the area and place an extra burden on already overcrowded schools.
Area business owners in the building industry spoke in favor of the development, saying it would bring much needed construction jobs to the county.
At about 11 p.m. Tuesday, the Board of County Supervisors voted to indefinitely defer a decision on the project.
