(The Center Square) – A third-party review commissioned by former Gov. Ralph Northam found the government failed to adequately prepare for and failed to properly communicate during a January snowstorm that led to hundreds of cars being stranded on I-95 for more than 24 hours.
The large snowstorm that hit the commonwealth Jan. 3 brought more than 14 inches of snow to some areas. Although the state urged drivers to stay off of the roadways, hundreds were stuck on an I-95 backup for more than a day, which led local authorities to distribute food and supplies to stranded drivers, but the national guard was never called to help. Some drivers were taken to shelters. Northam initially blamed drivers for braving the roadways, but ultimately walked back that response.
A longtime county employee will come out of retirement to lead the Stafford County Government.
Stafford County Board of Supervisors appointed Michael T. Smith as Interim County Administrator on April 5, 2022. His appointment is effective April 20, 2022. This decision comes after the resignation of County Administrator Frederick Presley, who will serve in a consultation role between Smith’s appointment and the effective date of his resignation, April 22, 2022.
