Good for the Ray family.
After watching more than three hours of public testimony at Tuesday’s Prince William County Board of Supervisors meeting, it was clear the family wanted the one thing any property owner wants when they go to sell — a fair market price.
WOODBRIDGE — Frank Principi stayed true to his record of denying every newly proposed housing development in Woodbridge.
On Tuesday night, he sided with the majority of residents who filled seats at a public hearing, and nearly four hours time speaking against 325 new homes to be built as part of Rays Regarde, a four-year-old project slated for construction at the end of Horner Road at Interstate 95.
MANASSAS — When Sheriff Glendell Hill was stationed at Vint Hill working in the Army Security Agency in the late 1960s, he lived in Manassas where a Confederate Battle Flag waived in the air.

In the early 1990s, before the construction of Prince William Parkway, this stretch of Horner Road was the main thoroughfare to cross the interstate highway.
WOODBRIDGE — At Neabsco Commons next to Northern Virginia Community College’s Woodbridge campus, there’s a hotel, some retail, and room for office space.
Situated along Interstate 95 in Woodbridge, in an area well-positioned for growth, office space is what Prince William County planners want for the region. They want it so much, last year the Board of Supervisors agreed to give nearly a half-million dollars in economic incentives to a firm named “Brickyard,” which operates a co-working space Loudoun County, to open a co-work space at Neabsco Common.
