In February of this year, the United States Tennis Association Mid-Atlantic (USTA MAS) announced it will locate its new headquarters and state-of-the-art tennis facility in Innovation Park, in Prince William County. The Board of County Supervisors approved an agreement between USTA MAS and the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) of Prince William County and agreed to assign a $100,000 Economic Development Opportunity Fund (EDOF) grant as an incentive for the project, which is due to be completed by 2021.
The USTA Mid-Atlantic Section, one of 17 sections of the United States Tennis Association, is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization serving more than 33,000 members in the D.C. metro area. According to the USTA MAS, tennis players of all ages and skill levels are involved in leagues, tournaments and programs sanctioned by the section. Over 300,000 visitors are anticipated to visit the new USTA facility per year.
Will the new USTA MAS facility affect local centers?
A variety of sport centers stand to be impacted by the new facility, but according to two local center representatives, the move will be a benefit to tennis players.

In July, Ceres Nanosciences (Ceres) announced it received Breakthrough Device designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its new point-of-care Nanotrap Lyme Antigen Test System. This diagnostic test requires only a patientâs urine sample to deliver results to the physician and patient at the earliest stages of infection, when treatment is most successful.
Under the Breakthrough Device program, the FDA works with a test developer to reduce the time and cost from development to approval.
Ross Dunlap, Chief Executive Officer of Ceres Nanosciences said the designation is important for several reasons, first because it means the test can more quickly be moved out of the clinical lab at George Mason University and into the general market where it can be shared by practitioners, other labs and distributors.

The 610 Car Wash celebrates its 30 year anniversary this year and the Car Wash preaches customer service over everything else. Majority owner and founder Gary Tardiff believes that a happy customer is the key for a successful business. Tardiff is a big believer that if there are happy customers and happy employees then the profits will come.
âBig corporations are getting away from the âcustomer touchâ,â Tardiff said. âWe never think about making profit. Weâre not out to save money, weâre out to do a good job.â
Tardiff got the idea of starting the Car Wash business when his brother called him on New Yearâs Day and asked him âWhat do you know about car washes?â Tardiff then spent the next day on the phone from 8 a.m. to about 5 p.m. calling different car washes and asking about how they ran their business.
