Is Stafford Changing the Rules for Data Centers?
Supervisors are considering new restrictions in industrial zones. What could this mean for future development? A public hearing is set for March 18.
Higher Taxes and Utility Bills in Manassas?
We were the first to report on the city’s proposed budget, which could raise property taxes and utility rates. How much more will residents pay? Key decisions are coming in March.
Secret HOA Meetings in Belmont Bay?
Woodbridge homeowners claim their HOA board held secret meetings about land deals, leading to a state complaint. What’s next for the community?
Dumfries a Mini National Harbor?
Town leaders envision a waterfront district to rival National Harbor. Could this project transform Dumfries? No timeline yet, but the vision is bold.

POTOMAC, MD – A local credit union is receiving national recognition for offering some of the highest certificate rates in the country. Lafayette Federal Credit Union, headquartered in Rockville and serving the greater Washington, D.C. region, has been named by financial outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Kiplinger, Investopedia, DepositAccounts, and GoBankingRates for its top-ranked share certificate products.
According to these sources, Lafayette Federal currently holds the #1 national ranking for its 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year certificate terms. The institution is offering fixed annual percentage yields (APYs) up to 4.28%, with a minimum deposit requirement of $500.
