Manassas Regional Airport’s plans to introduce commercial passenger jet service have hit a delay, with flights now expected to begin in 2026 instead of 2025.

The proposal sparked significant debate during the meeting. Some board members expressed concerns about the timing and financial implications of joining the RTA. A key argument was that neighboring counties like Spotsylvania, King George, and Caroline had already rejected participation in the RTA. Opponents worried that the resolution would increase the tax burden on Stafford residents without delivering clear benefits, especially given the current economic climate.
“The residents of Stafford are clearly pulling back in their pocketbooks and they're not spending as much money. So then to institute another tax on top of it after 30% tax increases on Real Estate property over the last three years. It's not the right time and I can't support it," said George Washington District Deuntay Supervisor Diggs.

At the September 17, 2024, Stafford County Board of Supervisors meeting, Bill Ashton debuted as the new County Administrator.
Chairwoman Meg Bomke welcomed Ashton, saying, “On behalf of the board, I’d like to welcome our new county administrator, Bill Ashton. He joined the county yesterday, and this is his first board meeting. Welcome, Bill.”
Ashton replaces Randall Vosburg, who resigned in February after nearly two years in the role. Vosburg had succeeded Fred Presley, who vacated the position in April 2022. Ashton now steps into the leadership role with a strong background in public administration, previously serving as the Town Manager of Herndon and Director of Information Technology for the town. His academic credentials include a master’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University and a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. He is also a member of the International City/County Management Association and the Virginia Local Government Managers Association.
In his new position, Ashton will manage all county departments, oversee daily operations, and implement policies set by the Board of Supervisors. The Board expressed confidence in his leadership and ability to address the county’s key priorities, including infrastructure, growth management, and public services. He will be paid a $295,000 annual salary.
Traffic congestion and school bus delays dominated discussions at the Stafford County Board of Supervisors meeting on September 17, 2024, as board members tackled the county's growing transportation issues. The conversation comes on the heels of a recent transportation crisis in Stafford County Public Schools, where over 3,000 students were left without bus service at the start of the school year, sparking calls for an independent investigation.
The school division blamed a software glitch for the chaos and noted it was unlike transportation school bus transportation issues in 2022 when the county schools suffered a lack of school bus drivers. Despite that fact, supervisors blamed traffic congestion.
