STAFFORD — For those looking to curb development in Stafford County, there were cheers on Tuesday night.
The Board of County Supervisors voted 6-1 to reduce the amount of land on which “cluster” developments could be built by-right from 100% to 40% of the remaining undeveloped land in and around the urban service area (areas with water and sewer connections, or areas where the connection could be easily be run).
Nearly 50 years of working to give back to the community have paid off.
“It is one thing to receive an award. It is another to know that our volunteers and members of the community were the ones to nominate us and our peers in the business community that chose us. We are both humbled and grateful, said Steven Liga, ACTS CEO, after winning the Prince William Chamber of Commerce’s 2018 Health & Human Services Award.
