In 2021, law firm McGuireWoods released a study, “Zoning and Segregation in Virginia: Part 1,” which examined why neighborhoods remain racially and economically segregated a half-century after the Fair Housing Act of 1968. McGuireWoods has released the second part of the study which proposes state and local policy changes to increase housing opportunities for all Virginians. Removing barriers for less-wealthy households to live in or near high-amenity communities opens more economic opportunity.
Presenter: Scott Adams – Partner, McGuireWoods

Scott’s practice focuses on land use and development issues in Northern Virginia, where he assists developers and landowners in navigating the land use entitlement process, including obtaining rezonings, special exceptions, special permits, variances, and comprehensive plan amendments.
