James City County Supervisors to Revisit Proposed ‘Bluffs at Kiskiack’ Mixed-Use Development

Norfolk Portsmouth Newport News, VA, October 12, 2026 — The James City County Board of Supervisors is set to re-examine the proposed “Bluffs at Kiskiack” development, a significant mixed-use project slated for northern James City County. The proposal includes plans for 704 homes and a museum intended to house presidential busts from the former President’s Park.

The board is scheduled to consider multiple aspects of the project during an upcoming session. These include the rezoning application, the master plan for the development, and a special permit required for its construction and operation.

Details regarding the specific date of the board’s reconsideration, the applicant’s name, or projected timelines for the development were not provided in the summary. The scope of the mixed-use nature of the project beyond residential units and the museum also remains unspecified.

The proposed site is located in the northern part of James City County. The project’s inclusion of a museum for presidential busts is a distinctive feature, aiming to preserve artifacts associated with a historical park. The full implications and details of the rezoning, master plan, and special permit requirements are expected to be addressed as the Board of Supervisors reviews the proposal.
