A Tribute to Vola.
Named in honor of Vola D. Lawson, the first female City Manager in the Washington, D.C. area and a beloved figure in Alexandria, Vola’s Dockside Grill pays tribute to her remarkable legacy. Vola D. Lawson dedicated 48 years to public service, and her unwavering support was pivotal in securing the final approval for the waterfront redevelopment plan. Her leadership and commitment to the city are celebrated here, where her influence continues to inspire.
