Elena Romanova, the Chief Development Officer of the Workhouse Arts Center said, "We knew we had a space that is truly unique. We thought why don’t we get our local community back here and do something like a farmer’s market but with a twist? Where we would invite various businesses to participate to let people know that they’re back in business, to give them the opportunity to do so safely and also surrounded by beautiful, historical structures of the Workhouse."
As per www.connectionnewspapers.com, "The event provided a venue for local businesses to reconnect with customers. “We don’t have a storefront so… a lot of our business comes through events like festivals and markets,” said Natasha Ettienne-Johnson, an owner of HoneyCakes Desserts in Lorton. “I think this platform is good for people in the community who don’t know so much about our product and give them the opportunity to try something different.

Latest News for Lorton Fairfax Peak, a possible future site 450,000 s.f for an indoor ski resort overlooking the Potomac and Occoquan Rivers. See below from Alpine X website. Excerpted here:
Alpine-X Washington DC | Fairfax Peak Project | Washington DC Area
We recently signed a one-year extension to our exclusivity agreement for the Fairfax Peak site and we are diligently working to advance this project. Fairfax Peak is in Fairfax County in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. With more than 10 million people living within 100 miles of Fairfax Peak, we think this location is an ideal place to develop an Alpine-X resort. Our goal is to position ourselves to submit a zoning package late in 2024. We are also working with local and national partners that we believe can bring valuable experience and resources to the project.
