MANASSAS, Va. – The Manassas City Council will decide Monday whether to move forward with a proposal that could reshape downtown with a hotel, apartments, and a new city-owned parking garage.
Council members are set to vote on September 22 on whether to accept an unsolicited redevelopment plan submitted by MLG Construction Management under Virginia’s Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act (PPEA). The plan calls for redeveloping three downtown properties: the former Olde Towne Inn site, the MIFCO property on Center Street, and the City Hall parking lot.
In Triangle, a 24-year-old man was arrested in connection with a shots-fired incident on August 30. Police say Dalonte Lee Kendall exchanged gunfire with others near Graham Park and Old Triangle Roads, striking two nearby homes. He was arrested in Baltimore by U.S. Marshals and faces firearms charges. The investigation remains active.
In Stafford County, deputies made multiple arrests related to outstanding warrants. One woman turned herself in at the Rappahannock Regional Jail and was charged with public intoxication after appearing under the influence of an unknown substance. A man wanted in Spotsylvania was also arrested at America’s Best Value Inn.
We asked Governor Glenn Youngkin whether he fears more political violence following the assassination of Charlie Kirk—especially with Virginia being one of just two states holding statewide elections this year. We also asked how his new Executive Order 53 is designed to safeguard elections and protect voters.
No comment from the governor.

QUANTICO, Va. – The folks in Quantico are mourning the loss of one of their own. Russell Victor “Rusty” Kuhns, a Vietnam veteran and longtime town councilman, passed away peacefully at his home, the town just shared with Potomac Local News.
Rusty served on the Quantico Town Council for 20 years, first elected in 2008 and last serving through 2024. While he didn’t run for re-election in 2024, his decades of leadership left a lasting mark on the only U.S. town located entirely within a military base.
