It’s rare for elected officials to speak about happenings outside their jurisdiction.

That’s why, this week, when the Fairfax Board of County Supervisors urged the Supervisors in neighboring Prince William County to pump the brakes on the county’s most significant economic development project in its history — the Prince William Digital Gateway, with 2,100 square feet acres for new data centers, an area 15 times the size of Potomac Mills mall — the action made the news.


Police said the victim was walking near an on-ramp from Interstate 95 to Route 234 when he was struck by the driver of a 2013 Hyundai Sonota exiting the highway. The 27-year-old driver from Stafford County was attempting to merge onto Route 234 when he struck the pedestrian, and he stayed at the crash scene following the collision.

Rescue crews took the victim, 31-year-old Jamel Terrell Tanner,  to an area hospital, where he died. Police said Tanner was wearing dark clothing when the driver struck him.


Two Prince William County residents who sued elected members of the Board of County Supervisors will have their day in the Virginia Supreme Court on Tuesday, November 1.

The state high court agreed to hear the case brought by Alan Gloss and Carol Fox, who are suing all five Democrats on the Board of County Supervisors individually. The suit alleges they violated Virginia’s open meetings law in 2020, in the hours following riots near Manassas, promoted by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.


Manassas will welcome its newest art gallery during a ribbon-cutting even on Friday, November 4.

Northbound Route 29 (Lee Highway) will have single-lane closures between White Post Road and Paddington Lane, weather permitting, this Halloween, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31, to implement a traffic shift, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

During that time, the northbound Route 29 lanes between White Post Road and Paddington Lane will be shifted to the right to allow work on the left side of the bridge over Cub Run. The lanes are expected to be shifted to the right until later this fall.
