InsideNova.com — Prince William extends property tax deadline

Those who haven’t yet paid their personal property taxes – also known as car taxes – are in luck. Thanks to the partial government shutdown, and some sympathetic Prince William County officials, the deadline to pay has been extended to Nov. 21.


DUMFRIES, Va. — If U.S. 1 is going to be widened in Dumfries, Prince William County officials will not have anything to do with it.

County Executive Melissa Peacor sent an email stating her county’s government has no interest in managing the $1.6 million project for initial survey work and right of way cost to expand a 2-mile section of the heavily traveled north-south commuter route from Brady’s Hill Road to Wayside Drive, near a Walmart store.


MANASSAS, Va. — Over the course of the next year, three new developments will be built in Manassas Van Metre at Old Town, Hastings Marketplace and Gatherings at Wellington. The new housing will bring 46 single-family homes, 139 townhomes and three multi-family buildings with 81 active adult units.

“We want to add to the culture of Manassas,” said Mayor Harry J. Parrish II when asked about the additional housing. “It will add jobs and boost the economy and allow new residents easy access to amenities like the [Virginia Railway Express.”


NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — A popular church in Bristow has expanded to Stafford County.

Chapel Springs Assembly of God Church, formerly the Manassas Assembly of God, opened their new “Stafford campus” at Shirley Heim Middle School on Telegraph Road in North Stafford on Sunday. Worshiping each week inside the school, the church will hold meetings on Sunday mornings at 10:30.


HAYMARKET, Va. — What’s in a name? The answer to that question will be up to a select group of people who will serve on one of two committees that will be tasked with coming up with the names for two of Prince William County’s newest schools.

Both in the west end and now known as Haymarket Drive Elementary School for its location on a street of the same name, and the K-8th grade school on Aden Road next to Brentsville High School, will need permanent names.
