On the agenda: Fredericksburg meeting — data center (Jun 9)

On February 18, 1927, the first train crossed the newly constructed railroad bridge over the
Rappahannock River in Fredericksburg at 1:55 PM, heading southbound. Just days later, on
February 21, 1927, an official ceremony was held to commemorate the opening of the
bridge and the soon-to-be-completed station.
As we enter 2027, Fredericksburg will mark the 100th anniversary of this bridge, which has
become an iconic part of the city’s history, infrastructure, and visual identity. To
commemorate this milestone, the Fredericksburg Area Museum (FAM) will open a new
exhibition titled Bridging Time: 100 Years of the Railroad Bridge, scheduled to debut in
January 2027. The exhibition will explore the history and impact of the bridge’s
construction while also featuring local artists whose work will be displayed and available
for purchase in the gallery.
In conjunction with the exhibition, the Fredericksburg Area Museum is seeking to
collaborate with the City of Fredericksburg and the major rail companies to plan a
commemorative event or ceremony on one of the historic anniversary dates in February
2027. To begin this effort, we hope to form a roundtable of partners and stakeholders to
discuss possibilities, share ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
FAM has already received support from City Manager Tim Baroody and is also seeking
support from Fredericksburg City Council and the Board of the Fredericksburg Area
Museum. We believe this initiative presents a meaningful opportunity for cooperation
among the museum, the city, rail partners, and organizations such as the RF&P Historical
Society and the Rappahannock Railroad Museum.
This centennial celebration could serve not only as a tribute to an important piece of
Fredericksburg’s history, but also as an opportunity to build momentum toward
Fredericksburg 300 by celebrating something deeply rooted in the identity and story of our
city.
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this project further and hope you will
consider joining us in supporting and shaping this commemorative effort.
Sincerely,
Kylie Thomson

Approving an updated charter for the Bay Consortium Local Workforce
Development Area
Wednesday, June 2, 2026 for the Tuesday, June 9, 2026 City Council Meeting

ISSUE
Shall City Council approve an updated multijurisdictional charter for the Bay Consortium Local
Workforce Development Area?
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council continue participation in the Bay Consortium Local
Workforce Development Area by adopting a resolution authorizing the execution of the Charter
Chief Local Elected Officials (CLEO) Agreement under the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity
Act.
DISCUSSION
The City Council previously authorized execution of CLEO Agreements on February 22, 2000 and
March 13, 2018.
The Workforce Investment Act reformed federal job training programs and created a
comprehensive workforce investment system. Under Section 116 of the Act, the Governor
designated workforce development areas within the state to implement it.
Within the state plan, the City is a member of Area 13—the Bay Consortium Local Workforce
Investment Area. The Bay Consortium serves economically disadvantaged adults and youth and
other eligible workers who have lost their jobs. It supports public/private partnerships involving
local government, business and industry, labor, education and training institutions,
employment services, and community support organizations.
From an implementation perspective, the policy board, composed of Chief Local Elected
Officials or their designees, constitutes the Workforce Development Area Consortium. An
operations board, the Local Workforce Investment Board, is appointed by the Consortium.
An updated CLEO Agreement was required in 2018 because Congress adopted the Workforce
Innovation & Opportunity Act to replace the Workforce Investment Act. This updated
agreement is needed to administer the program due to the final stages of a realignment
process with the Hampton Roads Workforce Development Council. Said change will adjust our

Resolution 26-__

SECOND:

RE:

Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Joint Agreement between the Jurisdictions
in the Bay Consortium Workforce Investment Area to Form a Consortium under
the Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

ACTION:

APPROVED: Ayes: 0; Nays: 0

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (“the Act”) is a federal law that amended the
Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to foster better alignment of federal investments in job
training, improve efficiency of employment services, and ensure that workforce development
systems are job-driven, matching employers with skilled individuals.
Under the Act, the governor of each state must submit a plan to the U.S. Secretary of Labor that
outlines a four-year workforce development strategy for the state’s workforce development
system. The publicly funded workforce development system is a national network of federal,
state, regional, and local agencies and organizations that provide employment, education,
training, and related services. States must have approved plans in place to receive funding for
core programs.
The Act and the state regulations adopted thereunder allow the jurisdictions within a workforce
development area to enter into a consortium agreement to define their roles and relationships
in administering their responsibilities under the Act. The City of Fredericksburg is part of the Bay
Consortium Workforce Investment Area. The jurisdictions in this Area need to adopt a formal
Charter agreement to constitute the consortium.
Therefore, the City Council hereby resolves that the Mayor is authorized to execute the “Charter
Chief Local Elected Officials of the Bay Consortium Local Workforce Development Area under the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (P.L. 113-128),” in substantially the form submitted
for approval.

Director of Public Transit Report
a) Leadership Transition – Deputy Director and Risk & Safety Specialist
Mrs. Fowler announced the promotion of Mr. Matt Rooney from Maintenance Manager to
Deputy Director of Public Transit and highlighted Mr. Rooney’s eight-plus years of experience
working at FXBGO!. Mrs. Fowler also then announced that Mrs. Olivia Klele was promoted from
Administrative Support Specialist IV to her new role as the Risk and Safety Specialist.
b) Idlewild VRE Route
Mrs. Fowler reported that ridership on the Idlewild VRE route ridership has remained
very low since it was reimplemented. A Fredericksburg City Council member requested that
FXBGO! staff evaluate the route. Mrs. Fowler explained that any changes to the service would
require public notice prior to implementation. She further noted that FXBGO! staff are exploring
options to potentially discontinue the direct VRE/Idlewild service while continuing to support
VRE patrons through connections to park-and-ride lots and the train station. Mr. Ollis asked
whether the proposed changes would have an impact on all routes. Mrs. Fowler clarified that
capacity remains available at the park-and-ride lots and that additional transit service could
potentially be added in the future if needed.
c) Earlier Service Hours
Mrs. Fowler shared that Fredericksburg Regional Transit had received feedback
received from riders through the Transit Strategic Plan outreach sessions that indicated that
riders requested to have earlier service hours. She announced that Operations staff have
reviewed the routes and implemented an hour-earlier service on an additional six (6) routes –
Routes 10, 21, 22, 30, 32, and 33. Ms. Anderson requested that the affected Spotsylvania
County routes be announced again. Mrs. Fowler responded that the routes time changes would
be on three Routes 30, 32 and 33 in Spotsylvania County. Mr. Ollis inquired about the current
route start times. Mrs. Fowler responded that most of these routes, are currently beginning at
8:00 a.m. and will now begin at 7:00 a.m. Mr. Ollis expressed support for the hour-earlier
service changes and noted that many riders need transportation earlier in the morning to reach
their workplace. He emphasized the importance of marketing the new service hours. Mrs.
Fowler stated that the service changes will be promoted through FXBGO! social media platform.
d) Emergency Action Plan (EAP)
Mrs. Fowler reported that FXBGO!’s Emergency Action Plan is currently being updated
after FXBGO! staff identified outdated procedures during recent snow events. She outlined
several areas that will be addressed in the revised plan, including severe weather, operational
disruptions, security threats, suspicious activity, medical emergencies, biohazards, internal and
external communication procedures, evacuation procedures, emergency drills, and first aid
preparedness. Mrs. Fowler emphasized the importance of clearly identifying leadership
responsibilities at FXBGO! during emergency situations. Ms. Lately suggested incorporating
feedback from underserved populations to help ensure all voices are represented in emergency
planning efforts. Ms. Falknor shared that HGAAA is also in the process of updating its agency
Emergency Action Plan and offered to collaborate and share resources. Mrs. Fowler thanked
both Ms. Lately and Ms. Falknor for their suggestions and support.

e) FXBGO! Celebrating 30th Anniversary
Mrs. Fowler announced that FXBGO! will be celebrating its 30th anniversary in the fall.
She stated FXBGO! staff and the Marketing Committee are planning a celebration event and
intends to invite former Directors, Deputy Directors, and family members of key individuals
connected to FXBGO!’s history. Mrs. Fowler detailed that a celebration focused on FXBGO!
riders is being planned to take place on a different date at Central. She shared that FXBGO!’s
Marketing Intern, Ms. Bravo, has been documenting significant milestones and historic changes
within the transit system. Ms. Walker inquired whether a specific date had been selected. Mrs.
Fowler responded that planning is ongoing; however, events for key partners are expected to
take place in October 2026 at the Operations Facility.
f) Active Transit Projects and Initiatives
a. Security and Fiber Project & Motorola Project
Mrs. Fowler noted that the Security and Fiber project continues to move forward. She
reported that the final construction meetings have been held and that fiber testing is
currently underway. She clarified that final project documentation will be completed
following the testing phase.
Mrs. Fowler also updated the PTAB on the progress of the Motorola Project, stating
that power and networking components are being finalized. She shared that equipment
has been received and that legal coordination regarding the tower lease agreements is
ongoing. Mr. White inquired about the anticipated timeline for installation once the
agreements are completed. Mrs. Fowler responded on the timeline would depend on the
ongoing tower lease agreement negotiations.
b. Bus Stop Signage / Park and Ride Lot
Mrs. Fowler informed the PTAB that FXBGO! held a final meeting with the sign
company in February 2026 and is currently finalizing the documentation with the City.
She reported that all signs have been delivered to the maintenance facility and are ready
for installation. Mrs. Fowler highlighted that the new signage is expected to significantly
improve visibility for passengers.
Mrs. Fowler discussed plans for the park-and-ride lot located across from FXBGO!
Central. She briefed the PTAB that the project is funded through a Virginia Department
of Transportation (VDOT) SmartScale grant and is expected to include paving and
electrical work. In addition, Mrs. Fowler stated that FXBGO! has received grant funding
for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and is exploring advanced purchases of the
charging equipment.
Committee Reports:
1) Mission, Goals, and Objectives
Dr. Weinstock stated that the fiscal year is slightly more than halfway complete and
advised that an end-of-year report, along with proposed goals for the next fiscal year, will be
presented at the upcoming July 2026 PTAB meeting.

2) Services to the Underserved
Ms. Lately reported that the Services to the Underserved Committee reviewed recent
leadership updates and discussed the impacts of the recent Stafford County route changes. She
shared with the PTAB that efficiency improvements have been observed; however, some
impacts to specific individuals with disabilities have also been noted. Ms. Lately stated that
HGAAA continues to work with these affected individuals. Ms. Lately further informed PTAB that
the committee has discussed FXBGO!’s decision to remain fare-free throughout fiscal year 2027
and expressed support for FXBGO! updating their Emergency Action Plan update. She advised
that additional outreach efforts are currently underway to increase committee participation and
noted that the next meeting is scheduled for June 16, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.
3) Partnerships and Marketing
Ms. McKenney reported that the committee discussed planning ideas for FXBGO!’s 30th
anniversary and continues to gather suggestions.
4) Operations and Oversight
Mr. McCay highlighted the increasing number of requests for assistance with
transportation to dialysis appointments and inquired whether HGAAA would be willing to provide
additional transportation to and from dialysis appointments. Ms. Falknor stated that HGAAA is
unable to provide those rides and instead refers individuals to the transportation guide;
however, she noted that this is not always an ideal or cost-effective solution for those needing
the service. Mr. White inquired whether the dialysis locations were more than 0.75 miles off
route. Mr. McCay stated that the dialysis center is located near Smith Station Road and it is
more than one mile from the route. Mr. White further questioned whether individuals could meet
the route for a deviation within the service parameter. Mr. McCay responded that some
individuals are so unwell following dialysis treatments that they are unable to walk to meet the
route. Ms. Falknor informed the PTAB that individuals receiving dialysis typically attend about
three (3) times per week, 52 weeks a year, with appointments lasting for approximately six (6) to
eight (8) hours per day.
Mr. McCay summarized the ridership trends for the PTAB, noting that ridership had
declined slightly in January and February; however, March ridership has increased by
approximately 3,000 riders. He further highlighted that ridership on the Stafford routes reached
its highest level since implementation of the new routes.
Mr. McCay advised the PTAB that there are currently 23 full-time Operators and 12 parttime Operators. He noted that the recent news reports indicate transit routes in Fairfax and
Petersburg are both being reduced due to staffing shortages. Mr. McCay also shared that
FXBGO!’s new Operator Trainer, Mr. Hector Choto, is working towards having FXBGO! be
designated as an authorized CDL testing and training location, which would eliminate the need
for employees to attend DMV for road testing.
Ms. Falknor inquired whether there was any FXBGO! Operators that would participate in
the upcoming CTAV Roadeo. Mr. McCay responded that FXBGO! does not plan to participate at
the CTAV Roadeo this time.
Healthy Generations Area Agency On Aging (HGAAA) Trainer Report
Ms. Falknor stated that Ms. Banks is working with Micah Respite House and Catholic
Charities to establish online travel training classes. She noted that many participants experience
challenges adjusting to and learning how to use public transit safely. Ms. Falknor also shared
that Ms. Banks attended the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce Mardi Gras event.

Virginia Railway Express (VRE) Report
Mr. Montgomery reported that there has been little change since the February 2026
PTAB meeting and stated that ridership remains steady. He informed the PTAB that the postspring break is typically VRE’s busiest time of the year, with ridership occasionally reaching
10,000 riders daily. Mr. Montgomery further reported that stop-specific data is still unavailable
but is expected to be presented at the June 2026 PTAB meeting.
Mr. Montgomery also highlighted that VRE will conduct its customer service survey on
April 22, 2026 and will begin its “Meet the Management” outreach initiative to answer questions
and provide information on new projects to riders.
Mrs. Fowler inquired about the progress of the Long Bridge project on VRE’s ridership.
Mr. Montgomery responded that he had not heard of any major issues and noted that most
individuals disembark at Alexandria Station to transfer. He stated that there was an initial
decline in ridership; however, riders have become more familiar with the process, station
employees are assisting passengers, and VRE plans to have representatives on the platform for
the next four (4) years to help ensure passengers are on the correct side of the platform. Mr.
Ollis inquired whether VRE considers current ridership levels to be steady compared to levels
prior to the start of the Long Bridge construction project. Mr. Montgomery responded that
ridership is relatively similar, although he noted that the next few months of ADR data will
provide a better basis for comparison. Mr. Ollis also questioned whether all early morning trains
travel to Union Station. Mr. Montgomery responded that the last two morning trains on the
Fredericksburg line do not continue to Union Station. Ms. Anderson inquired whether VRE plans
to offer Fare-Free Fridays again this summer. Mr. Montgomery stated that he has not heard any
discussion regarding whether the program will return.
Old Business:
Mr. White thanked Mrs. Fowler, Mr. Rooney, and FXBGO! staff for their support with
Spotsylvania’s SmartScale applications, as well as ridership figures for federal grants purposes.
New Business:
Ms. Walker proposed using FXBGO! buses to transport regional directors for advocacy
efforts and to assist with public messaging. Ms. Falknor noted that experiencing the bus system
firsthand could provide an opportunity to engage directly with riders, gain valuable insights, and
better understand service gaps and rider needs. Ms. Fennell commented that these ride-a-longs
would be a valuable addition to FXBGO!’s 30th anniversary activities, as some Spotsylvania
board members may not fully understand the extent of the stops throughout the county. Mr. Ollis
expressed hope that the new signs would be installed prior to the 30th anniversary celebration.
Ms. Walker also suggested producing a documentary for the 30th anniversary
highlighting “A Day in the Life of a Traveler.”
Mr. Hlaing informed the PTAB that the Long-Range Transportation Plan Goals and
Needs Survey has closed and thanked those who shared the survey, as well as FXBGO! for
allowing FAMPO to host a table at Central. He noted that the survey results have been posted
to FAMPO’s website. Mr. Ollis commented that more than 1,000 individuals completed the
survey, which he considered to be a good response rate for a smaller region. Mr. White inquired
whether any particular comments stood out from the survey responses. Mr. Hlaing reported that
several responses referenced the need for earlier and later transit service, suggestions for
specific bus stop locations, and feedback regarding where the bus station would be better
suited.
Dr. Weinstock thanked the PTAB for productive discussion.

Granting a Special Use Permit to the City of Fredericksburg Fire
Department for Fire Station 3 at 3340 Fall Hill Avenue (D26-__ thru D26__). Zoning Administrator Kelly Machen gave a PowerPoint presentation on the special

22371

Public Hearing 04/14/26

Planning Commission has recommended approval with a 7-0 vote on March 11, 2026. Ms.
Machen explained that the Fire Station 3 project is in line with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan objectives, policies and strategies and Small Area Plan 2. The R-2
Zoning allows selected uses compatible with residential character of the district. Traffic
improvements will be included, and additional tree buffers will be added to help mitigate
lights and noise.
This important proposed public safety project will increase the Fire Department’s
capacity and decrease response times and mileage when responding to emergencies.
Staff recommends approval.
Councilor Holmes asked about the parking for the Community Gardens which will
be left where they are currently. Ms. Machen stated the nine parking spaces will be left
for the visitors to the gardens.
Councilor Mackintosh asked for explanation on the Architectural Review Board’s
(ARB) conversation about the kind of way in which the building is going to front Fall Hill
Avenue. Ms. Machen explained that the building will be designed to be inviting with
enhanced landscaping, sidewalks and pedestrian elements. Councilor Mackintosh asked
if the ARB will continue to review future iterations of this plan as it moves from conceptual
stage to ensure these factors remain fully developed in the vision. Ms. Machen replied
yes.
The Mayor asked if anyone wanted to speak on this item. There were two
speakers.

22372

Public Hearing 04/14/26

Thomas Worman, 1023 Albert Reynolds Drive, spoke against the new Fire Station
in this location due to the close proximity of the townhouse units and apartment
complexes where many residents live. He states that the noise from the sirens will be
disruptive to residents who already live there, including many elderly and young children.
The fire station should be located in a commercial zone that won’t affect as many people.
Additionally, a letter sent by the Planning Department was never received by Mr.
Worman. He asked the Council to reconsider approving the special use permit for this
location.
Sue Sargent, Ward 5 (stated by the speaker) commented that where the Fire
Station #3 project is being proposed, is near historically marginalized people, the
disadvantaged people, where data centers are to be located, right next to those
surrounded on three sides, with children and elderly residents. She supported what the
previous speaker spoke about, and she asks that Council move the location a half mile
north so that residents will not be as impacted.
Councilor Mackintosh moved approval of Resolution 26-___, Granting a Special
Use Permit to the City of Fredericksburg Fire Department for Fire Station 3 at 3340 Fall
Hill Avenue. The motion was seconded by Councilor Holmes and passed by the following
recorded votes: Ayes (7) – Councilors Devine, Frye, Crump, Finn, Holmes, Mackintosh, and
Rowe; Nays (0).

Close Public Hearing. There being no further speakers to come before the
Council at this time, Mayor Devine declared the public hearing officially closed at 7:57
p.m.

Timothy J. Baroody, City Manager
Resolution Ratifying Ameresco Landfill Gas Lease Termination
June 4, 2026 (for the June 9, 2026 Council Meeting)

ISSUE
Should City Council ratify the termination of the landfill gas rights lease agreement between the
Rappahannock Regional Solid Waste Management Board (R-Board) and Ameresco Stafford LLC?
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution ratifying termination of the lease agreement with Ameresco Stafford
LLC and authorizing the City Manager to take any actions necessary to implement the
termination. Ameresco's landfill gas generation facility has not operated since January 2024,
and termination of the lease will allow the R-Board to pursue alternative beneficial uses of the
landfill gas resource and negotiate a new gas rights agreement.
DISCUSSION
Landfill gas (LFG) is a natural byproduct of organic waste decomposition in landfills, composed
primarily of methane, along with small amounts of nitrogen, and oxygen. The methane can be
captured and converted into renewable energy.
The R-Board entered into an agreement in 2006 to sell the landfill gas to Ameresco Stafford LLC
for the purpose of generating electricity to the grid. Ameresco Stafford, LLC constructed an
electrical generation plant powered by the methane which began operation in May 2009.
Associated with the landfill gas agreement a lease was approved for approximately 0.3 acres at
the landfill to allow Ameresco a location on the landfill to operate the generators that was
approved by the City Council and Stafford Board of Supervisors. The landfill gas agreement and
associated lease term was for 20 years from the date of operation.
During the period of between October 2022 and January 2024 Ameresco experienced plant
operational issues that limited electrical generation and revenue. Ameresco has not operated
the generators since January 2024, thus R-Board staff and counsel have negotiated a proposed
termination of Ameresco’s exclusive rights to the landfill gas and associated lease to allow the
sale of the gas for other purposes.

Resolution 26-___

SECOND:
RE:

Ratifying the Termination of the Lease Agreement between the Rappahannock
Regional Solid Waste Management Board, the County of Stafford, the City of
Fredericksburg, and Ameresco Stafford LLC relating to gas rights at the R-Board
Operated Landfill

ACTION:

APPROVED: Ayes: 0; Nays: 0

In May of 2006, the City of Fredericksburg, the County of Stafford, and the Rappahannock Regional
Solid Waste Management Board (“R-Board”) entered into a lease with Ameresco Stafford LLC
(“Ameresco”) relating to gas rights at the R-Board operated landfill located at 489 Eskimo Hill Road
(“Lease”).
In March of 2009, the City consented to a security interest in the Lease being assigned to TD Bank,
N.A. (“Consent Agreement”). The Consent Agreement provides, among other things, that the
written consent of TD Bank is required for any consensual cancellation or termination of the
underlying lease.
The Lease provides for a renewal period after an initial twenty year term unless sooner terminated
by a written notice given in advance of the renewal date. The R-Board commenced
communications with Ameresco about winding down the lease no later than the end of the initial
term (twenty years from the Operations Date). This termination is consistent with the initial term
specified in the Lease and does not require the consent of TD Bank.
The Lease further provides that Ameresco shall have 180 days from the date of expiration or
termination of the lease to remove its improvements from the leased premises and restore them
to substantially to the condition pre-existing the lease, unless the parties agree to have
improvements abandoned with title vested in the ownership to the City and the County.
The R-Board is negotiating terms for lease of gas rights to a different company. Approval of that
lease will require future action by the governing bodies of the City and County.
Therefore, the City Council hereby resolves that:
•

It hereby ratifies the termination of the Lease, provided that the R-Board coordinates
the specific termination date, ensures the removal or abandonment of facilities
consistent with permit obligations, and fulfills all notice requirements under the
Lease and the Consent Agreement;

•

The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to effectuate any actions
required to terminate the lease as provided herein.

RE:

Ameresco Landfill Gas Agreement Termination

Summary:
Landfill gas (LFG) is a natural byproduct of organic waste decomposition in landfills, composed
primarily of methane, along with small amounts of nitrogen, and oxygen. It can be captured and
converted into renewable energy. The R-Board entered into an agreement in 2006 to sell the landfill gas

past several years, Ameresco has not operated the generators, thus R-Board staff and counsel have

other purposes. The R-Board staff recommend approval of terminating the Landfill Gas Agreement
between the Rappahannock Regional Landfill (R-Board) and Ameresco Stafford LLC dated May 17,
2006 and authorize the R-Board Director to sign termination agreement upon approval as to form by
counsel.

Approving an economic incentive agreement with the Economic Development
Authority and 2300 Fall Hill Partners, L.L.C.
June 2, 2026 for the June 9, 2026, City Council Meeting

ISSUE
Shall City Council consider an economic incentive agreement with the Fredericksburg Economic
Development Authority and 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC?
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend the approval of the resolution as presented to authorize entering into the
economic incentive agreement.
The economic incentive agreement for the adaptive, mixed-use redevelopment project at 2300
Fall Hill supports the City’s goals of diversifying housing types to provide opportunities for
increasing housing supply and affordable workforce housing options as well as incentivizing the
historic preservation of a character structure.
DISCUSSION
The proposed project at 2300 Fall Hill Avenue follows a proven redevelopment model that has
successfully revitalized vacant and/or underutilized buildings in comparable Virginia localities.
The 10-year abatement structure allows for the generation of new tax revenue(s) from a
previously largely tax-exempt property while advancing community goals for, historic
preservation, housing diversity, and accessible amenities. As presented at the May 26, 2026
work session, the 10 year structure represents an increase over a presently existing seven-year
incentive structure of general applicability adopted in 2007.
At their October 14, 2025, meeting Fredericksburg City Council unanimously approved a Special
Use Permit (SUP) for 242 multi-family dwelling units within the adaptive reuse of the former
Mary Washington Hospital at 2300 Fall Hill Ave. As detailed through the SUP approval process
the adaptive reuse of the former Mary Washington Hospital realizes core components of the
land use vision in the Comprehensive Plan and especially the Area 6 plan. The former hospital is
a key anchor in the area and a center of gravity for corridor revitalization efforts.
As detailed on Page 19 of the Memorandum dated October 7, 2025 and as included within the
October 14, 2025 City Council Packet;

Memo – 2300 Fall Hill Partners LLC Incentive
June 9, 2026
Page 2 of 2

“The applicant may additionally pursue a local tax abatement incentive in partnership
with the City. At this time no specific incentive has been developed. Tax incentives at the
local, state, and federal level recognize the complex nature of adaptive reuse projects
and are commonly utilized throughout the Commonwealth for similarly scaled projects.”
Over the past several years, The Rebkee Company (Rebkee) has completed multiple
redevelopment and rehabilitation projects utilizing and leveraging available federal and state
historic tax credits and localized real estate tax abatement programs in Lynchburg, Richmond,
and Henrico, to achieve highlighted goals of downtown revitalization, adaptive reuse, and
workforce housing.
In Richmond, the Rebkee team successfully redeveloped the Cookie Factory Lofts (Broad Street)
and the United Paper Company Building (Shockoe Bottom) under 10-year abatements. Both
projects included an affordability workforce housing component, with 20% of units leased to
households earning no more than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
Building on the success of these redevelopment projects, Rebkee’s team through 2300 Fall Hill
Partners LLC plans to invest an estimated $66,000,000.00 (including hard and soft costs) to
redevelop the Former Mary Washington Hospital property located at 2300 Fall Hill Avenue, and
has proposed a 10-year real estate tax abatement, above current base total assessed value
($4,733,700). In return for the future consideration of a local tax abatement incentive, the
project will;
•
•

•

•

Designate at least twenty percent (20%) of the units within the Project to be leased
exclusively to people earning not more than eighty percent (80%) of the area median
income for the Washington DC metropolitan area;
Limit rent at least twelve (12) of the studio units to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per
month for the initial twelve (12) month period under the Payment Period and thereafter
subsequent annual rent increases for said units will not exceed five percent (5%)
(“Reduced Rent Units”) ;
Incentivize public sector employees (including Fredericksburg City School teachers and
City of Fredericksburg employees) to apply for tenancy at the Project by waiving
application fees and deposits, excluding pet deposits (the “Public Employee Incentive”);
and
Set-aside for rent an additional ten (10) units (above the 12 Reduced Rent Units) that
will have a further incentive of a minimum discount of the first month of rent by Five
Hundred Dollars ($500.00) to Fredericksburg City School or City employees (“Additional

RE:

Authorizing an Economic Development Agreement with 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC
and the Fredericksburg Economic Development Authority for the Redevelopment
of the Property Commonly Known as the Former Mary Washington Hospital

ACTION:

APPROVED: Ayes: 0; Nays: 0

the presently vacant lots) Residential 4 and is the subject of special exception permit for 242
multifamily dwelling units associated with adaptive reuse of the former hospital granted on
October 14, 2025. The Property is also in the Neighborhood Commercial Use Overlay District.
The former hospital is a key anchor in the neighborhood and a component of ongoing citywide corridor revitalization efforts. The addition of apartment dwellings to the City also presents
the opportunity for the City to meet some of its affordable housing goals.
The Fxbg Forward! 2025 Comprehensive Plan includes goals of diversifying housing types to
provide opportunities for increasing housing supply and affordable options as well as incentivizing
the historic preservation of character structures through zoning regulations and other means.
Cultivating a skilled workforce through the availability of workforce housing also supports the
City’s economic development objectives.
City Council and the EDA have determined that substantial Local Tax Revenues are projected
to be generated by the Project, and that the Project further advances important public interests in
the promotion of revitalization, affordable housing, and increased housing stock, including
workforce housing.
Code of Virginia §§ 15.2-4901 and 15.2-4905, as well as City Code § 10-232 authorize the
EDA to make grants for the purpose of promoting economic development and safe and affordable
housing, and, to accept contributions and grants from Virginia governmental agencies for these
purposes, under the conditions set forth therein. Code of Virginia § 15.2-953 authorizes the City
Council to make appropriations to the EDA for the purposes of promoting economic development.

Section 2.

Project Overview.

In consideration of the incentives and other support as described in this Agreement, the
Company covenants to undertake, complete, and maintain the Project in compliance with
Applicable Laws. The Company further covenants to meet the following Affordability Targets.
The Company will reserve and allocate for lease at least 20% of the units within the Former Mary
Washington Hospital property Project for the duration of the Payment Period to people earning
not more than 80% of the area median income for the Washington DC metropolitan area. To
achieve affordability for this target group of wage earners, Company shall restrict occupancy for
the Project according to the schedule shown on Exhibit C. Additionally and in further performance
of the Affordability Targets set forth herein, during the Payment Period the Project will set aside
for rent the Reduced Rent Units, with an initial annual rent of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per
month for the first 12 months of initial occupancy under the Payment Period and for any
subsequent rental years during the Payment Period the annual rent escalation shall not exceed five
percent (5%). Further, the Company will offer and maintain the Public Employee Incentive and
Additional Units as provided herein. The Company may extend the Public Employee Incentive
and Reduced Rent Units to public sector employees other than Fredericksburg City School and
Fredericksburg City employees, but for the duration of the Payment Period must maintain the
Affordability Targets as to City School and City employees that seek leases of units in the Project.
As a precondition to payment of any Annual Grant under this Agreement, the Company must
consolidate the parcels within the Open Space parcels into a single tax map parcel. The
consolidated parcel will be programmed as an open space area with amenities that are to be
enjoyed by the public. The details of which will be jointly decided by the City’s planning staff
and Company, and approved pursuant to the Project’s final civil engineering plans. The aforesaid
preconditions collectively are the “Project Site Improvements”. The Company agrees to use its
reasonable best efforts to complete the Project by June 30, 2028 or soon thereafter.

Section 3.

Annual Grants.

(a)
Initial Certification. After completing the Project and achieving the affordability
restrictions on the Project in accordance with Section 2 above and receiving all certificates of
occupancy necessary for the Project to be fully operational, the Company may submit to the City
a written statement, signed by a duly authorized representative of the Company, certifying that
the Project is complete and that the affordability restrictions have been achieved (the “Initial
Certification”). The Company must submit its Initial Certification for the Project no later than
December 15, 2029 unless the City allows a later date at the request of the Company and any
delay is not due to the actions or omissions of the Company. The City reserves the right to validate
the Initial Certification for the Project and will endeavor to provide written notice to the Company
of any deficiencies in the Initial Certification within thirty (30) days following its submission to
the City.
(b)
Subsequent Certifications. No later than 30 days after the end of each Certification
Period in the Payment Period, as shown in Exhibit B, the Company must submit to the City a
written statement, signed by a duly authorized representative of the Company, certifying that the
Company has paid in full the real estate taxes due to the City for the Project and that it remains in
compliance with the affordability restrictions specified in Section 2 and all other conditions of
this Agreement (each, a “Subsequent Certification”). The Company must include a complete
W-9 form with its first Subsequent Certification. The City at its sole discretion may request
reasonable verifying documentation of the satisfaction of the Affordability Targets, which the
Company shall promptly furnish independent of the City’s recourse to an audit as provided by
Section 7(k). The parties may agree to confidentiality terms of verifying documents to the extent
consistent with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
(c)
Payment. After receiving a Subsequent Certification, the City will validate the
Subsequent Certification with the City’s Finance Director, who shall endeavor to provide written
notice to the Company of any deficiencies in the Subsequent Certification within thirty (30) days
following its submission to the City. After validating a Subsequent Certification for the Project,
but not sooner than the target date for payment for the applicable Certification Period set forth in
Exhibit B, and subject to appropriations, the City will make a payment to the EDA in an amount
up to the Differential but not to exceed the difference (to the nearest whole dollar) between the
real estate taxes computed on the Base Value and the real estate taxes computed on the eligible
rehabilitation value on the Project actually paid by the Company to the City for the applicable
Certification Period (each payment, an “Annual Grant”). In the first seven years of the Payment
Period, the City intends to furnish funds for an Annual Grant of 100% of the Differential. In year
eight, the Annual Grant amount would be reduced to 70% of the Differential; then 50% of the
Differential in year nine, and in the final year of the Payment Period, 30% of the Differential in
year ten. The EDA will promptly issue payment to Company of funds transferred by the City to
the EDA for purposes of the Annual Grant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the EDA shall have no obligation to make any payment to the Company unless and
until the EDA has actually received funds from the City for that Annual Grant. The EDA shall
not be liable to the City or the Company for any delay, nonpayment, or recapture resulting from
the City’s failure to appropriate, pay, or continue funding, or from the Company’s failure to satisfy
any condition precedent. The EDA’s sole obligation with respect to any Annual Grant is to
forward funds actually received from the City to the Company within a reasonable time after
5

receipt.
(d)
To receive Annual Grants under this Agreement, the Company must complete the
Project in accordance with Section 2 above, or diligently pursue compliance and receive all
certificates of occupancy necessary for the Project to be fully operational and submit its Initial
Certification by December 15, 2029, unless the City agrees to a later date as expressed above.
(e) No Extensions. Except as provided herein, there will be no extensions of (1) the
deadline for the Initial Certification or (2) the Payment Period. For avoidance of doubt, the force
majeure provisions of Section 8(f) shall not extend these dates.
(f) No General Obligation and Subject to Appropriations. The City Council of the
City retains full authority over all appropriations notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement. The City’s obligation for Annual Grants under this Agreement shall not be deemed a
general obligation or debt of the City. If the City Council does not make an appropriation for
purposes of making any Annual Grant contemplated by this Agreement, all provisions of this
Agreement shall become null and void unless the City Council resumes appropriations during the
Payment Period. The EDA shall not be obligated to make any Annual Grant unless and until funds
are appropriated for purposes of this Agreement in any Fiscal Year during the Payment Period by
the City.
Section 4.

Additional Conditions Precedent; Recapture.

(a) Condition of the Site. The City will delay payment on any Subsequent Certification
in the event it determines that the Project is not being maintained in compliance with Applicable
Laws, of the City of Fredericksburg or the Code. If the City, based on the inspection and
performed by the City, determines one or more deficiencies or violations of Applicable Laws exist
at a time when an incentive would otherwise be made available, the City will notify the Company
in writing of the deficiency or violation in sufficient detail to allow the Company an opportunity
to correct said deficiency or violation. If the Company satisfactorily resolves all deficiencies and
violations within 90 days of the City’s notice, the City will make the delayed payments subject to
appropriations. In the event that any deficiencies or violations cannot be resolved within 90 days
due to force majeure, and Company follows the notice and cure specified in the force majeure
provision (Section 8(f)), the City will make delayed payments for purposes of Subsequent
Certification(s), subject to appropriations. If the City further notifies the Company in writing of
the Company’s failure to diligently pursue resolution of all deficiencies and violations in violation
of this section and the Company fails to cure such lack of diligent pursuit of a resolution within
30 days of the City’s further notice, the City’s obligation to make the delayed payments on the
subject incentive available will be forever extinguished, and neither the City nor the EDA will be
under any obligation to make payments pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Delinquent Payments. In addition, the City will delay payment on any Annual
Grant in the event it determines the Company, or the payee, if different, are delinquent on any tax
or other payment owed to the City. For purposes of validating this condition precedent to payment,
the Company, and the payee, if different, may at the election of the Finance Director be required
to provide written authorization for the Commissioner of the Revenue to share relevant
6

delinquency information with the City consistent with Section 8(g) before the City makes any
incentive available. If the City determines one or more delinquencies exist at a time when an
incentive would otherwise be made available, the City will notify the Company in writing of the
delinquency. If the Company satisfactorily resolves all delinquencies within 60 days of the notice,
the City will make the subject payment available to the Company, subject to appropriations. If the
City further notifies the Company and the payee, if different, in writing of the continued failure
to resolve any delinquency and the Company or the payee, if different, fails to resolves such
delinquency within 10 days of the City’s further notice, the City’s and EDA’s obligation to make
the delayed payments on the subject incentive available will be forever extinguished and the City
and EDA will be under no obligation to make payments on any other incentive available until the
Company satisfactorily resolves all delinquencies.
(c) Recapture. If the Eligible Rehabilitation Value decreases for any reason (e.g.,
resulting from appeal by the Company or correction by the City) after the City has already paid
an Annual Grant in connection with the Project, the Company covenants to repay to the City any
excess grant payment promptly after receiving notice from the City of such excess grant payment.
The excess grant payment to be repaid by the Company will equal the difference between the
amount of the grant or grants that the City actually paid, and the amount of the grant or grants
calculated based on the reduced Eligible Rehabilitation Value.
In addition, if the City determines that the Company has willfully made a material
misrepresentation in its Initial Certification or any Subsequent Certification which would have
disqualified the Company from receiving payments of all or any portion of any incentive available
under this Agreement pursuant to its terms (a “Material Breach”), the Company covenants to
repay to the City the amount of the incentives improperly received under this Agreement which
arose out of such Material Breach, promptly after receiving notice and reasonable supporting
evidence of such Material Breach from the City. Further, following any Material Breach, the City
will have no obligation to make any subsequent incentive available, and the City will have the
right to terminate this Agreement.
The Company’s obligations under this Section 4(c) survive any termination of this
Agreement.
Section 5.

Indemnification.

The Company covenants to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, the EDA, and
their officers and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from any claims of third
parties arising out of any act or omission of the Company or the Company’s contractors,
subcontractors, or agents in their performance under this Agreement. However, this obligation
will not apply to (1) third-party claims solely arising out of the negligent act or omission of the
Indemnified Parties, or (2) third-party claims against the Indemnified Parties regarding the
legality of this Agreement, any incentives provided under this Agreement, or appropriations to
the City. The Company’s obligations under this Section 5 survive any termination of this
Agreement for the applicable statute of limitations period.

7

Section 6.

Termination.

This Agreement will terminate upon the first to occur of: (i) the written agreement of the
parties, (ii) the City’s payment of the final Annual Grant authorized and requested under Section
3, (iii) the Company’s failure to submit a valid Initial Certification to the City by December 15,
2029, unless said period is extended as provided herein, (iv) any termination by the City pursuant
to Section 4(c), and (v) any assignment or transfer in violation of Section 7 below. After such
termination, the parties will have no further obligations to each other except the Company’s
repayment obligations under Section 4(c) and Section 7 and its indemnification obligation under
Section 5, all of which survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.

Assignments.

The Company may not assign any part of this Agreement without the prior written
approval of the City, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Company intends
to transfer the Project, or any portion of the Project to another party (the “Transferee”), the
Company must notify the City prior to consummating the transfer and request approval to assign
the Agreement, in whole or in part, as appropriate, to the Transferee. However, such approval will
not be required if such assignment is to a holder of a mortgage on the Project, or a subsequent
assignment by a mortgage holder to a third party. The City’s obligation to make payments on any
Grants herein will be suspended immediately in the event the Company transfers the Project, or
any portion of the Project without notifying the City or attempts to assign any part of this
Agreement without the prior written approval of the City, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld. In the event the Company makes a transfer without notifying the City or makes an
assignment without the prior written approval of the City, the Company covenants to repay to the
City all incentives received after the effective date of such transfer or assignment promptly after
receiving notice from the City. Subject to appropriations, the City’s payment obligations will
only resume following such transfer or assignment upon the City’s receipt of proper notice of any
transfer and issuance of approval for any assignment of this Agreement, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Section 8.

Miscellaneous.

boycotts; shortages of materials or energy; fires; explosions; floods; or other unforeseeable causes

2300 Fall
Hill Project
Update

• At their October 14, 2025, meeting Fredericksburg City Council unanimously approved a Special
Use Permit (SUP) for 242 multi-family dwelling units within the adaptive reuse of the former
Mary Washington Hospital at 2300 Fall Hill Ave.

2300 Fall Hill
Project
Proposed
Incentive
Breakdown

• The former hospital is a key anchor in the area and a center of gravity for ongoing city-wide
corridor revitalization efforts.
• The building was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing
structure in the Fall Hill Avenue Medical Historic District and City’s Area 6 Small Area Plan,
designations intended to recognize its historic character and incentivize adaptive reuse.
• The project was determined to be in harmony with the adopted Comprehensive Plan, Area 6
Small Area Plan, and the T-4M Transect: General-Urban-Maker designation.
• As detailed on Page 19 of the Memorandum as included within the October 14, 2025 City
Council Packet;
“The applicant may additionally pursue a local tax abatement incentive in partnership
with the City. At this time no specific incentive has been developed. Tax incentives at
the local, state, and federal level recognize the complex nature of adaptive reuse
projects and are commonly utilized throughout the Commonwealth for similarly scaled
projects.”

Fiscal Impact Analysis

October 9, 2025

Prepared By:
2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC

NON-PROFFERED FISCAL IMPACTS
This report provides estimates of non-proffered fiscal impacts to the City of Fredericksburg (the
"City") resulting from the 2300 Fall Hill Avenue Redevelopment of the Old Mary Washington
Hospital (the "Development"). This report also provides an estimate of the additional tax revenues
and expenses that the City may receive or incur as a result of the Development and contrasts
projected revenues with projected costs. Fiscal impacts studied also include one-time
construction impacts and recurring revenues. Detailed calculations related to fiscal impacts are
included in the schedules appended hereto.
Development
The Development, planned by 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC (the "Developer" or the "Applicant"), is
expected to include both residential and commercial uses. These include 242 multifamily units
and separate commercial spaces totaling +/-10,599 square foot. Table A on the following page
shows the projected assessed value and real property taxes resulting from the completed
Development.
As shown in Table A, the total projected real property tax revenues are estimated to be $420,647 at
full build out, excluding inflation.

Projection of Impacts
In estimating future fiscal and economic impacts to the City, 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC employed
a combination of accepted approaches for such forecasts.
To calculate construction employment and economic impacts, 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC used
similar Fiscal Impact Studies for the City of Fredericksburg.
For the inputs used in developing the models, 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC relied on a variety of
sources, which are noted in the schedules appended to this report. 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC
analyzed current commuting trends among employees in the City to estimate the percentage of
projected employees who will be non-residents and represent an increase to the city's current
service population. Toestimate population increases and student generation, 2300 Fall Hill
Partners, LLC utilized the generation factors in the Capital Impact Study prepared for the City of
Fredericksburg by TischlerBise.
For the calculation of economic benefits in the form of increased tax revenue, 2300 Fall Hill
Partners, LLC applied the actual taxing methodology by multiplying the applicable tax rate by the
estimated taxable value in question whenever possible. For instance, 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC
estimated real property taxes by multiplying projected assessed value by the current applicable real
property tax rate. Other revenues calculated in this manner include personal property taxes levied
upon vehicles, utility taxes, sales taxes, meals taxes, recordation taxes, and business license taxes.
In the cases of other local revenues and telecommunication sales tax, 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC
estimated revenues on a per capita basis using the City's service population.
To calculate fiscal impacts in the form of additional costs to the City, 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC
reviewed the City's approved general fund budget to determine the most appropriate approaches
for estimating potential increases. 2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC generally estimated these expenses
on a per capita basis using service population, resident population, or student population.
2300 Fall Hill Partners, LLC assumed a uniform net annual increase in both revenues and expenses
of two percent in future years, except for utility taxes which are assumed as level due to caps on
amount collected. For real property taxes, this was expressed as an approximately 8%
reassessment increase every four years, as real property in the City of Fredericksburg is reassessed
every four years. Tax rates are current as of the date of this report.
The schedules appended hereto provide specific calculations of impacts, along with the sources of
the underlying assumptions.

Results of the Study
A. Employment Impacts and Economic Output
Table B summarizes the projected one-time employment impacts and economic impacts resulting
from the construction of the Development. Direct jobs are jobs at the development site; Indirect
and induced impacts are jobs created within the City but not at the Development. Direct impacts
represent full-time equivalent ("FTE") positions, converting both part-time and full-time employees
to the equivalent number of full-time employees. Total income includes salary, benefits, payroll
taxes, and proprietor's income. Impacts assume an 18-month duration.

Limitations
Projecting fiscal and employment impacts is inherently imprecise, particularly when results are
extrapolated over several years. Furthermore, there are different methods of projecting fiscal and
employment impacts and different analysts will arrive at different conclusions. The conclusions in
this study are not intended to be precise results; they are intended to represent reasonable
estimates of the potential fiscal and employment impacts to the City from the Development.
