Margaret Franklin seeks the Woodbridge Supervisor seat, doesn’t support bonds

The Democrat who is running unopposed to replace Frank Principi on the Board of County Supervisors says the combined $396 million road and park bonds won’t benefit Woodbridge.

“Revitalization and infrastructure are crucial to moving the Woodbridge District forward. We must revitalize Route 1, while also mitigating the impact of traffic congestion. Unfortunately, the bond referendum in its current form does not include or support any projects for the Woodbridge Magisterial District, thus leaving our community behind. I look forward to working with the new Board of Supervisors who will help identify cost effective projects that will create a better quality of life for Woodbridge residents.”

Why it matters: A $355 million road bond and a $41 million park bond would be used for multiple projects across the county.

  • If approved by voters, it would represent the largest investment in infrastructure spending in the county in more than 10 years.

Voters will head to the polls, where they’ll be asked to vote for the bond referenda, on Election Day, Tuesday, November 5.
