Virginia Business Magazine recently did a feature on Colonial Beach and the Dodson Development Group highlighting some of current development projects in motion in the Town. "When complete, Dodson Development Group’s $25 million CoBe on the Potomac development will include 35 housing units, restaurants, coworking space and a gourmet shop. Dodson’s development vision persuaded the town to sell him the land for $2.7 million," says Colonial Beach Economic Development Manager Kelly Evko. “CoBe on the Potomac is giving the town the momentum it needs,” Evko says. “Duke Dodson has been really engaged with our citizens and stakeholders and has family ties here. We’re working together to honor the town’s history and culture while we evolve and grow our tax base.” https://lnkd.in/eTrmxe3t
