          No.

          VA is Virginia!

          No.VA is Northern Virginia

          Nova is a car that was built by the Chevrolet division of GM.

            Nova is a car that was built by the Chevrolet division of GM.

            And considering the meaning in several Romance languages, was a bit of a problem.

            Unfortunately I can't help you out.

    Our company was based in Merrifield, just moved to Sterling.  We have been on job sites with a few builders in the area; Great Falls Construction, Gibson Builders, Saville Builders, Monarch Homes all seem like top notch builders in the area.

    untill the circumstances change, my answer will remain the same...
