From dirt to district: Nexus234 expands innovation ecosystem in Manassas

George Mason University, Prince William County, and the City of Manassas revealed the name of Northern Virginia’s first Innovation District: Nexus234. The name draws inspiration from the central transportation corridor, Route 234, that runs through the district like a spinal cord. The name roots the district in the infrastructure that has shaped its trajectory for more than three decades; it is both a physical backbone and a symbolic throughline, tying past vision to future momentum.
