Changes proposed for two upscale Lake Anna developments
Two firms building high-end developments on Lake Anna are poised to tweak their plans, pending approval by the Louisa County Board of Supervisors.
LA Resort, LLC, which previously won supervisors’ approval to build a planned unit development (PUD) on 15.2 acres just west of the Route 208 bridge, and RP20 Cutalong Consolidated, LLC, the developer of Cutalong at Lake Anna, a golf course and resort community off New Bridge and Kentucky Springs Roads, are both asking the board for permission to shuffle their plans with an eye toward building more multi-family dwellings on their properties.
In LA Resort’s case (LAR), the developer wants to increase the project’s density, upping the number of residential condominiums by 28, from 96 to 124. The rest of the mixed-use complex would remain the same, including an upmarket hotel, restaurant/bar and marina.
For its part, Cutalong doesn’t want to increase the 891 dwellings permitted on its 1,042 acres. Instead, the Utah-based developer is seeking an amendment to the project’s master plan, mostly aimed at increasing the number of condos and townhomes and decreasing the number of single-family lots. The property is already home to an 18-hole golf course.
Both developers say their changes aim to meet market demand.
The board of supervisors is scheduled to hold public hearings on the proposals at its January 6 meeting. Here’s a closer look at the developers’ plans.
LA Resort, LLC proposes more condos
In January 2023, LAR won supervisors’ approval to rezone, from commercial to planned unit development, 15.2 acres fronting Mitchell Creek just west of the Route 208 bridge.
The rezoning cleared the way for Prince William County developers Mike Grossman and Mike Garcia to transform a coveted piece of lakefront real estate, perched at the county’s primary gateway from Northern Virginia, into a mixed-use complex featuring a 130-key hotel, a 10,200-square foot restaurant/bar accompanied by retail space, a marina with 62,560 square feet of overwater structure and a six-story residential condominium building.
The developer attached 15 proffers to the rezoning including one that limited the number of condos to 96. Now, LAR is asking for permission to up that number to 124, arguing the change is necessary to ensure the project is economically feasible.
In an application submitted to Louisa County on December 11, Grossman says his firm initially planned to include 12 five-bedroom condos in its 276,000-square foot building, but market research suggests selling the dwellings could prove challenging.
To help ensure, as Grossman puts it, the highest degree of “market absorption,” LAR proposes replacing those units with 40 one-bedroom dwellings, which he expects to appeal to a broader swath of potential buyers.
“The purpose of this request is to achieve a unit mix that will provide the highest degree of likely success for market absorption while still capturing the necessary sellable unit floor area needed to support the development’s economic feasibility,” Grossman writes.
As proposed, the complex would include 41 one-bedroom units, 30 two-bedroom units, 42 three-bedroom units and 11 four-bedroom units, covering more than 191,000 square feet. Each unit would feature a balcony overlooking the lake.
The shift from five-bedroom to one-bedroom units won’t impact the project’s overall site plan or alter the footprint of the building, Grossman said. He also contends that the changes would have minimal impact on county services and traffic, generating only an additional 200 vehicle trips per day.
The additional condos would require 248 parking spaces—based on two spaces per unit—12 more than what’s currently included for the project’s residential component. To meet that threshold, Grossman proposes lowering the number of parking spots allotted for the restaurant from 53 to 41. The latter figure equals the minimum required for a 10,200-square foot restaurant in the county’s land development regulations.
While it’s unclear how community members feel about LAR’s latest proposal, the property’s rezoning sparked staunch resistance when supervisors approved it two years ago.
Residents along Mitchell Creek, a narrow cove lined with single-family homes, argued that the project would forever change the character of their neighborhood, replacing its quiet, rural charm with high-density, “Northern Virginia-style development” that many said they were seeking refuge from.
Neighbors also warned that the development would clog traffic on New Bridge Road (Route 208), bring more boats to an already dangerous area and exacerbate water quality issues like Harmful Algal Blooms that have plagued the upper end of the lake for the last six years.
Many residents reserved their sharpest criticism for the condo building, which will soar 80 feet high. One called it a “monstrosity.” Many more said it would mar their views and didn’t belong at a gateway to the county.
Most board members embraced the project, voting 6-1 to approve the rezoning. Several supervisors said that LAR’s proposal conforms with the county’s vision for area. The property is in the Lake Anna Growth Area Overlay District and designated for mixed-use development on the Future Land Use Map in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Board members also argued that changing the parcel’s zoning from commercial to PUD gives the county more control over how it’s developed.
Cutalong shifts to gated community, proposes more condos, townhomes and fewer single-family dwellings
Touting itself as “Virginia’s premier lakeside resort and private golf community,” Cutalong at Lake Anna sits on more than 1,000 acres fronting Contrary Creek. The property already features an 18-hole, Tom Clark-designed golf course and recently broke ground on a clubhouse.
At full buildout the community will include 891 dwellings coupled with a range of amenities, including a marina, pools, tennis courts, walking and biking trails and more.
To meet the demands of its target market, Cutalong, a subsidiary of Reef Capital Partners, is asking supervisors to greenlight changes to the community’s master plan.
The developer wants to shuffle the composition of its dwellings, upping the number of townhomes from 45 to 200, increasing the number of condos/villas from 187 to 312, and slightly hiking the number of estate lots with single-family dwellings from 138 to 147. To offset those increases, the developer plans to drop the number of executive lots with single-family homes from 308 to 34 and decrease the number of cluster lots from 213 to 198.
The developer contends that decreasing the number of single-family lots would create a more cohesive community that’s connected by a network of trails for pedestrians and cyclists and features ample open space. As part of that effort, Cutalong plans to double the size of its “lakeside village” along Contrary Creek, which would feature both condos and amenities like a spa and short irons golf course.
“More specifically, the proposed modification will modernize the masterplan, creating a destination resort community within the county—which is more pedestrian and bike oriented via the creation of various interconnecting hiking and biking trails with well positioned passive/active recreation areas and a more robust central village activity hub,” attorney Charlie Payne said in a letter to Louisa County.
Payne says the proposed changes wouldn’t negatively impact the neighborhood, pointing out that there’s no increase in density. He also notes that shifting primarily from single-family dwellings to multi-family is expected to lessen the impact on ground water and sewer flows. Because public utilities aren’t available in the area, the community will rely on private water and wastewater service.
Cutalong also plans to build a gated community, relying on private roads, instead of the public roads originally proposed. The developer says that change is necessary to meet market demand.
“All roads were developed to VDOT standards, and it was the intention that the roads not be private, but be public. We retained a sales agent. We are starting to sell our lots and our condominium product, and our sales agent’s first comment after the market research was ‘our buyer’s looking for a gated community,’” Project Manager Joe Walsh told the planning commission at its November 14 meeting.
The commission agreed to grant Cutalong a private road waiver and determined the change conforms with the Comprehensive Plan. Supervisors will hold a public hearing at their first January meeting to consider abandoning the public right-of-way the developer previously conveyed to the county.
While Cutalong intends to amend its master plan, the proffers attached to the property’s initial 2005 rezoning remain mostly intact, including a commitment to develop a 45-unit townhouse complex for “workforce housing” on the other side of Kentucky Springs Road (Route 652) adjacent to the Lake Anna Food Lion. Those townhomes are included in the 200 units proposed in the revised master plan.
Department heads, other county officials request more than $20.1 million in preliminary CIP
While Louisa County residents prepare to ring in calendar year 2025, county leaders are eying their spending wish list for Fiscal Year 2026.
Department heads and other county officials are asking for more than $20.1 million to spend on capital projects in the coming fiscal year, which runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.
The money would mostly pay for upgrades at existing county facilities, emergency vehicle and school bus replacement and other routine purchases and repairs. But some would be socked away for large-scale projects—like new facilities for the Parks and Recreation Department—that could materialize in the future
The requests are part of the county’s preliminary FY26 to FY45 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), a 20-year forecast for spending on tangible, long-lasting and high value items, which run the gamut from new school buildings and fire stations to parking lot repairs and HVAC upgrades.
The draft CIP will start working its way through the county’s budget process in January. It will first be reviewed by the Louisa County Planning Commission at a January 9 work session then at a February 13 public hearing. The plan next moves to the board of supervisors for consideration as part of the FY26 budget.
Though the board will adopt a 20-year CIP, they’ll only allocate money for the coming fiscal year. Supervisors have the final say on whether a project’s included in the plan and when and if it receives funding.
Here's a look at some notable capital spending requests floated by county leaders for FY26 plus a glimpse ahead at some big-ticket asks potentially coming in the next five years.
General Services Department requests $5.6 million for animal shelter expansion, other projects
Louisa County’s General Services Department has the biggest ask for the coming fiscal year: $5.6 million for a laundry list of items, covering everything from an expansion at the Louisa County Animal Shelter to parking lot repairs at the County Office Building.
The department is requesting $1.95 million for the animal shelter expansion, which would provide much-needed indoor space for animal care, animal holding, offices and storage. Outside the building, the expansion would include an enlarged fenced-in animal play area.
In his written request, General Service Manager Anderson Woolfolk says the upgrade is necessary to keep pace with the county’s growing population, which has led to more animals ending up at the shelter.
For nearly a decade, the shelter has operated as “no kill,” Woolfolk said, meaning it euthanizes less than 10 percent of the animals it takes in. The expansion is necessary to help ensure it retains that status.
“If this project is not funded the County runs the risk, due to the limited animal holding space and the steady increase of the population in and around the County, of having to euthanize healthy animals due to a lack of holding space,” Woolfolk writes.
Woolfolk’s second biggest request would pay for remodeling and upgrades at the county’s circa 1905 courthouse. He’s asking for $876,000 to remodel the building’s second floor and another $166,000 to replace its boiler.
The courthouse revamp would include the addition of a second courtroom, providing space for non-jury trials, sentencing hearings and other proceedings. Woolfolk contends that the county needs another courtroom to accommodate the growing court docket. He also notes the facility would be more accessible than the existing courtroom, where a domed roof makes it difficult to hear.
“The current 3rd Floor Courtroom is spacious enough for large jury trials and trials that have a large audience, however, because of the large dome structure, it is not ideal for acoustics despite the addition of sound attenuation panels and a high-end audio video system with microphones,” Woolfolk writes. “There is the need for a smaller courtroom suited more towards smaller trials, sentencings, and non-jury criminal trials. This will also prepare for, in the not so distant future, when the court docket load is so heavy the circuit will require two judges or multiple hearing/trials to go on at the same time.”
Though he’s asking for the money in the coming fiscal year, Woolfolk says the project could be pushed back, allowing the county to set aside funding over the next several years.
Woolfolk is also requesting $705,000 for upgrades at the Louisa County Office Building; $500,000 for renovations to the lower level of the Louisa Medical Center, which would provide space for file storage; $425,000 for the cell closure fund and new cell development at the Louisa County Landfill; $125,000 for vehicle replacement; and $120,000 for the solid waste equipment fund.
FEMS Department requests $5.3 million, mostly for new equipment, renovations
Louisa County’s Fire and EMS Department is requesting $5.35 million for FY26, mostly for new emergency vehicles and equipment. Of that, $2.3 million is earmarked for a new fire truck and two new ambulances while $1.725 million would go toward replacing the fire department’s self-contained breathing apparatuses.
In her request, Fire and EMS Chief Kristin Hawk says that, based on recommendations from a pair of committees tasked with planning for emergency vehicle purchases, the department is asking for $1.5 million for a new ladder truck for the Louisa Volunteer Fire Department (LVFD) and $800,000 for two new ambulances.
The new fire truck would replace a 30-year-old apparatus, Hawk said. Because of the lengthy lead time for ordering a new ladder truck, it likely wouldn’t be in service until FY29.
The board has more than a million dollars set aside for new fire trucks from previous fiscal years. Hawk said the ladder truck is expected to cost $2.35 million.
The new ambulances would replace a vehicle that’s 17 years old and a second high-mileage vehicle. The latter ambulance would become part of the department’s reserve fleet, Hawk said.
The self-contained breathing apparatuses provide breathable air to firefighters when they’re fighting fires or in other hazardous environments and typically have a 15-year lifespan. Hawk said the current apparatuses were purchased in 2011 and their safety features are outdated.
Beyond those big-ticket items, the department wants $800,000 for remodeling with half that going to upgrades at its training center and the other half earmarked for renovations at LVFD. The training center request is part of a larger project with a $900,000 ask projected for FY27.
Parks and Rec Department requests over $4 million for trio of new facilities
Perhaps no department’s budget has sparked more community feedback this year than the Parks and Recreation Department.
During the FY25 budget process, residents repeatedly spoke at public meetings, urging the county to invest in a multi-purpose sports complex, mostly because they want more indoor pickleball courts.
Other residents advocated for a skateboard park, reminding supervisors that they’d been promised a new facility more than a decade ago after the old park was demolished to make way for a temporary home for the health department. Now that the health department has a permanent home in the Town of Louisa, skaters say it’s time for the board to make good on that commitment.
More recently, a survey circulated by the county to determine what parks and rec projects residents prioritize resulted in an indoor aquatic center topping the list and a new rec center with pickleball, volleyball and basketball courts coming in second.
Parks and Rec Director James Smith’s $4.175 million capital request for FY26 reflects those priorities. It includes $2 million each for an indoor aquatic center and rec center and $175,000 for a skatepark.
The county has already set aside $1.2 million for the aquatic center over the last three fiscal years. Smith proposes adding another $2 million in FY26 and FY27 then tacking on $3 million in FY28 to fully fund the project. He estimates an indoor facility featuring a junior Olympic size pool, warm water therapy/aerobic pool, bleachers, locker rooms and an office would cost about $8.2 million.
In his written request, Smith says the facility would meet several community needs, providing a place for youth and scholastic swim meets, swimming lessons and more.
“This facility would allow year-round access to the recreational and therapeutic benefits associated with an indoor aquatic facility. It would also provide a training [facility] and…meet location for the local community swim team, as well as the Louisa County High School swim team. The county, which is home to one of the largest lakes in the state of Virginia, would also be able to offer year-round water safety and swim lesson classes,” Smith writes.
The facility would generate more than $600,000 in annual maintenance and personnel costs, according to Smith. But more than a third of that could be offset by memberships, rentals and programming fees.
As for the rec center, Smith is asking for $2 million for the facility in the coming fiscal year, $3 million in FY27 and $6.5 million in FY28, estimating that it would cost $11.5 million.
Smith lists $1 million already in the department’s long-term capital reserves that could potentially be leveraged for the project.
Smith and a chorus of community members argued during last year’s budget process that the facility would provide direly needed indoor playing space for a range of sports, from pickleball to basketball. It would also have room for a walking track, martial arts and exercise classes and other programming.
“The County does not have a facility that adequately meets the health, wellness and recreational needs of all the families in the community. The Betty Queen Center, which opened in 2002, serves as our primary location to provide programs for youth and adults. The population has doubled since 2002 and our department does not have space to provide programs and services to meet the demands associated with the increase in population,” Smith writes.
While the facility would have more than $400,000 in recurring staff and maintenance costs, Smith says those expenses could be offset by membership and program fees and by hosting tournaments.
Smith’s $175,000 request for a skatepark would cover the costs of rebuilding the facility on an existing concrete pad adjacent to the Betty Queen Center where it was previously located. The park would include ramps, benches, rails and fencing.
LCPS requests $2.48 million for building improvements, technology upgrades and more
After requesting more than $53 million for two major school construction projects this fiscal year, Louisa County Public Schools comes with a far more modest ask for FY26.
The division is requesting about $2.48 million, mostly for routine purchases and maintenance projects.
Director of Facilities and Maintenance Todd Weidow has the biggest ask: about $1.13 million to cover improvements and enhancements at the division’s six schools. Most notably, Weidow’s requesting $570,000 for road and parking lot maintenance.
Weidow told the school board at its November meeting that the division plans to lay fresh asphalt or make necessary repairs on the loops used by school buses at Louisa County Middle School and Trevilians Elementary School. New asphalt or related improvements are also in the works for two parking lots on the high school-middle school campus and the “activity area” at Jouett Elementary School.
The division plans to spend another $250,000 on upgrades to the HVAC system at Trevilians; $85,000 on security upgrades recommended by the division’s school safety taskforce; $75,000 for new furniture at Jouett and Moss-Nuckols Elementary; $46,000 on a new maintenance van; and $41,000 on exterior LED lighting, among other expenses.
Director of Transportation Deborah Coles requested $687,000. Of that, $612,000 would be used toward the purchase of three small school buses for special needs students while $75,000 would be earmarked for fleet vehicle replacement.
Coles and Superintendent of Schools Doug Straley said that one of the division’s special needs buses was recently totaled in an accident while others are aging.
Beyond routine maintenance and vehicle replacement, the capital budget includes $500,000 for technology upgrades, nearly double last year’s allocation.
Director of Technology Dave Childress told the school board that the money would be used to replace the division’s Chromebooks for three grade levels: second grade, sixth grade and ninth grade.
Childress said the division replaces the devices annually, so that every second, sixth and ninth grader receives a new Chromebook. The students use the devices throughout elementary school, middle school and high school, respectively.
Childress noted that the cost of the Chromebooks has risen from about $250 per device before the Covid-19 pandemic to more than $400 today.
Water Authority requests $1.449 million for upgrades to water and wastewater infrastructure, dam improvements
The Louisa County Water Authority is asking for $1.449 million, including $500,000 for repairs at the New Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The county purchased the troubled plant from a private owner in 2023 with plans to upgrade and expand it to support future economic development along the Route 208 corridor. The facility currently serves Lake Anna Plaza and adjoining townhomes.
The board of supervisors appropriated $7.5 million for the project in last year’s CIP, but Louisa County Water Authority General Manager Pam Baughman says in her request that another half million dollars is needed for repairs and maintenance to the existing facility’s lagoon system to improve its “operability and reliability” during the overhaul.
Baughman said the project would allow 30 new townhomes to hook up to the system while also making it available for the “start-up” of Lake Anna Resort, a planned unit development featuring condos, a hotel and other amenities slated for construction on 15.2 lakefront on the other side of New Bridge Road (Route 208). If the county declines to fund the project, Baughman said the townhomes and resort couldn’t hook up to public sewer service until the upgrade’s complete in FY27 or FY28.
Baughman also notes that the repairs would help the facility meet state pollution regulations “more consistently and reliability.”
Beyond that request, Baughman is asking for $699,500 for upgrades at the Northeast Creek Water Treatment Plant and the Regional and Zion Crossroads Wastewater Treatment Plants. Her request also includes $250,000 for improvements to the Bowler’s Mill Dam, part of a larger project that’s dependent on receipt of federal grant funding.
Other requests
Several other departments and county-affiliated entities also submitted capital requests for the coming fiscal year. They include:
a $670,700 request from the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office for vehicle and personal watercraft replacement, mobile radar units and computers and docks;
a $280,000 request from the Louisa County Airport for paving and other upgrades;
a $350,000 ask from the Community Development Department for fleet vehicle replacement;
a $136,000 request from Economic Development Director Andy Wade for a transportation enhancement project at the Shannon Hill Regional Business Park;
a $168,288 request from the IT Department for computer equipment;
a $50,080 ask from the Office of Elections for voting equipment and poll books;
Looking ahead: new fire stations and an elementary school
At just over $20.7 million, this year’s draft CIP is more modest than the capital spending plans for the last two fiscal years, which topped $41 million and $81 million, respectively. But, as the county grapples with steady residential growth, big ticket items loom.
Aside from sizable requests to update and expand the county’s aging parks and recreation facilities, two other county agencies are eying new digs in the next five years: Louisa County Fire and EMS and Louisa County Public Schools.
Hawk, the FEMS chief, is asking for two new stations, both proposed for construction in FY28: one at Zion Crossroads and the other at Ferncliff or Shannon Hill. Both facilities were included in previous CIPs and Hawk has slightly pushed back the timeline for construction.
The Zion Crossroads facility, expected to cost $8.55 million, would replace an existing station off Poindexter Road. The Ferncliff/Shannon Hill station, expected to cost just over $8 million, would be the first emergency service facility in either area.
Hawk says the department needs the Zion facility because the current station is too small and isn’t ideally located. She notes that moving the station to the Route 15 corridor would enable the department to better serve the Zion Crossroads Growth Area, the county’s fastest growing area, and to answer calls to the north near Gordonsville. The Gordonsville area is currently served by an all-volunteer department based in the Town of Gordonsville whose station doesn’t house an ambulance.
“Call volume continues to rise on average each year. The Zion Crossroads area is one of the County's highest growth areas. With the new James River water expansion being approved and ready to move along, along with the proposed Zions Town Center, Zion Crossroads is expected to become the busiest district in the County. The calls in this area continue to increase as well as the traffic. Currently, the average response time to calls in the Zions area is 14:49 and the Gordonsville area is 19:08,” Hawk writes.
While moving the Zion station would shorten response times along Route 15, it would increase the need for another station along Route 250 and Interstate 64, according to Hawk. To fill that gap, she’s asking for a station at either Ferncliff or Shannon Hill.
Hawk doesn’t say where she wants the new station, noting that either location would work. Based on county data, she says the department expects to receive 600 calls from the Shannon Hill area in 2024 and 550 from the Ferncliff area. The average response time in Shannon Hill is just over 18 minutes while the Ferncliff response time is about 16 minutes.
“These locations are being looked at due to the interstate 64 call volume from Zions Crossroads to the Gum Spring intersection. Both of these locations are ideal in that they allow a unit to jump onto the interstate to assist Co. 7 or Co. 4 as well as any call volume that could be potentially from the 136-159 mile marker area of the interstate,” Hawk writes.
Louisa County is currently home to eight FEMS stations, all but one of which were initially built by volunteers. Two years ago, the county completed the New Bridge Fire and EMS Station on Route 208 near Lake Anna, the first station built almost exclusively with taxpayer dollars.
As volunteerism has dwindled in the recent years, reflecting a nationwide trend, county officials have publicly stated that they expect future stations to be built with taxpayer money. They’ve also said the department will require more public support for staff and equipment.
The Zion station would rely on existing staff and equipment already owned by the county, Hawk says, while the Ferncliff facility would generate roughly $500,000 a year in additional staffing costs and require the acquisition of some $2.2 million in equipment.
Louisa County Public Schools anticipates that at least $42 million could be needed in the next five years for a new elementary school. That’s $6 million more than was projected for the facility in last year’s CIP.
“We’re looking at the potential of a new elementary school coming in FY30...We are a few years away, but I think it’s something we certainly need to be talking about as a board and a school division as to what that looks like as the county continues to grow,” Straley, the schools’ superintendent, told the school board in November, adding that the cost of the project could continue to rise.
Per the University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, Louisa County ranks as the third fastest growing locality in the state over the last three years, growing 7.5 percent. The county has drawn a mix of retirees and young families, according to demographer Hamilton Lombard, with the latter contributing to a rise in school enrollment.
Preliminary public school enrollment projections released by Weldon Cooper last January placed LCPS among 15 school divisions that are expected to see enrollment climb by more than three percent over the next five years with much of that growth driven by new elementary school students.
The division currently has four elementary schools—Trevilians (TES) and Moss-Nuckols (MNES) on the western side of the county, Thomas Jefferson (TJES) in central Louisa and Jouett (JES) on the county’s eastern end.
According to data provided by the school division, three of those facilities are nearing capacity: TJES currently enrolls 678 students and has a 700-student capacity; TES is home to 542 students and has a 570-pupil capacity; and MNES enrolls 639 students and has a 700-student capacity. At Jouett, where supervisors funded a 20,000-square foot addition about five years ago, 651 students are enrolled, and the facility has an 855-pupil capacity.
While Straley briefly mentioned the potential need for a new school during his capital budget presentation to the school board, county officials haven’t had a detailed public discussion about the facility nor have they solicited community feedback. The planning commission’s January work session could provide a forum to start that conversation.

One question - what *is* the water committee?
I had never heard of the water committee. But I have since found out that the committee is tasked with longterm water supply planning. It includes two BOS members: Duane Adams and Manning Woodward.
