The proposed rezoning process for Parcel C of the Eastern State Hospital property is underway with James City County.  This surplus property (the wooded area bordering Charlotte Park and Shirley Park) has been under discussion for development since 2014.

 

ABVA Development filed its formal rezoning application for Westwood Park (sometimes referred to as Westwood Village) in May 2023. They propose rezoning 81.5 acres of the land from public use to PUD-R (Residential) for 63.8 acres and Mixed Use for 16.7 acres. The proposal envisions 86 single family homes and 125 multifamily (211 total units) to be built by extending Discovery Park Boulevard into the current Eastern State area.

 

The applicant's description of the project is linked here along with the schematic for the project.  Additional information as the project moves through the County's review and future hearings can be found on the James City County website:  Rezoning case Z-23-0004 and Master Plan 23-0001.
