The Stafford County Government is beginning work on a $990,000 stream restoration project in St. Clair Brooks Memorial Park, located at 80 Butler Road in Falmouth. It will begin near the pedestrian bridge below the overhead power lines and meanders south toward Pratt Park.

The project will prevent pollutants from reaching the Rappahannock River and the Chesapeake Bay by restoring an unnamed 1,500-foot tributary, decreasing erosion, and promoting natural habit, a press release states. The press release adds that the effort will reduce the amount of runoff, sediment, and pollutants and make the stream more sustainable.


Together, the projects represent an investment of more than $30 million in transportation improvements near the interchange.

A groundbreaking was held today with the Spotsylvania Board of Supervisors and Delegate Robert “Bobby” Orrock to mark the ceremonial start of construction.


The chase occurred Monday, March 13, 2023, at 11:15 a.m. It began at 3494 Richmond Highway, near the Potomac Hills Fire and Rescue Department.

Authorities said the man, who was wanted in multiple jurisdictions and had been panhandling, eluded police, leading them on a chase from Stafford to Prince William County, where he struck the car of an innocent driver outside the Marine Corps Base.
