PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — The developers of a the 2,000-acre Potomac Shores project remain at an impasse with railway and state officials – there is still no plan to build a commuter rail station on the property.

The mixed-used neighborhood’s town center, which will be located on the Potomac River and feature a mix of condominiums, apartments, retail shops, office space, and a hotel, hinges on a future Virginia Railway Express Station. The hope is commuters traveling to and from Washington, D.C. would use the station. It would be built on the existing rail line that traverses the property, between VRE stations at Quantico and Rippon in Woodbridge.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Who likes Prince William County’s new logo? Supervisor Marty Nohe does, and so does the county’s economic development office.

So far, less than $10,000 has been spent on printing the new logo on letterhead and marketing materials. It has also appeared on road signs welcoming visitors to the county.

STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — “Immature,” “unfounded,” and “frivolous spending,” were some of the comments Mark Dudenhefer heard when he wanted to improve Stafford County’s antiquated roads.

In 2004, his 17-year-old daughter Emily was killed in a car crash on Mountain View Road. Nine years later, Stafford County celebrated the implementation of new road fixes following a $70 million voter-approved road bond passed in 2008. The very road on which Emily lost her life will be improved to help prevent others, including more than 400 student drivers at Mountain View High School, from being injured or killed in car crashes.
