- Stafford County voters will be asked to consider a $50 million transportation bond referendum.
- The meeting takes place at 6 p.m. in the Board Chambers of the George L. Gordon, Jr., Government Center, 1300 Courthouse Road, Stafford, VA 22554.
- Residents should also expect to see a mailer in the next few weeks providing additional information and resources to make an informed vote in the November 5, 2019 General Election.
- While the referendum sets maximum limits for borrowing money, the County is not required to borrow the full amount.
- If the proposed transportation bond is approved by voters, projects will be initiated, constructed and financed over several years.
- Stafford County is among only 47 counties in the nation that have the highest credit rating possible for a local government, and the County’s Triple-AAA bond rating lowers its borrowing costs.
- The County has four revenue streams dedicated to transportation, including gasoline sales tax, state recordation tax, interest earnings and transportation impact fees.
- By monitoring the annual spending needs and not issuing all the bond debt at one time, the County can draw from these funding sources to pay the debt service.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
