Manassas officials tell us some voters in who live in the city are confused after they received a letter in the mail providing them incorrect information about where to vote.
The mailer came from the Prince William County Office of Elections, which handles elections in the county, not in the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.
Realtors got an education Thursday about Prince William County’s Rapid Rehousing program.
The program’s goal is to find landlords with properties for rent and to move homeless families into them. The training provided at the county’s first Landlord Summit comes as nearly 40 homeless people will be forced off land behind Bungalow Alehouse in Woodbridge following a no trespassing order issued by the landowner, a Prince William County spokesman said last month.
**CORRECTION**
Please see the below correction regarding the investigative update which was released on October 7. The surveillance images which were provided were from the armed robbery that occurred at the Ramada Inn in Triangle, not the Quality Inn as previously stated. Both robberies occurred during the early hours of September 27 and the same suspects are believed to be responsible for both incidents. Additional footage is expected to be released in the coming week. We apologize for the error. Further information regarding the Ramada Inn robbery investigation is provided below.
