This growth could support the development of multifamily housing. The city is underdeveloped in industrial areas and it is building a heavy industrial base south of the downtown area. The county's planning director discussed the comprehensive plan, approved in 1991, that is currently being reviewed. Four citizens' groups have been setup to complete the review including the transportation and utility components. Most of the county is planned to remain rural although there are several residential developments planned.
Growth is likely to occur in the central and western parts of the county.
King George County has several industrial developments which could be effected by a possible outer connector roadway. These include the sand and gravel operations, landfill and tire recycling for the landfill, power plant and commercial greenhouse development. Most of these facilities will rely on truck traffic. When improvements to the rail line are completed to the landfill, up to 100 trucks per day will be removed from the road network. A tire recycling facility near the landfill will be used to provide daily cover at the landfill.
