There are two zip codes, 22405 and 22406, that USPS has attached to Fredericksburg’s location despite lying within Stafford County lines. This affects 25,713 residences and businesses across three magisterial: George Washington, Falmouth, and Hartwood.

George Washington District Supervisor Tom Coen is pushing for the change, citing a new tax on plastic shopping bags charged by neighboring Fredericksburg City on January 1, 2022. Businesses in Stafford County also began improperly charging the tax despite not being located within the city’s boundaries.

Just before 4 a.m. on Monday, April 11, Stafford County Fire and Rescue units were dispatched for a reported structure fire in the 200 block of Wood Landing Road in the White Oak area, about 10 miles from Fredericksburg.

First arriving units marked on scene approximately 10 minutes later and reported fire and smoke coming from the front and side of a one and a half story, log cabin style residence. The fire was marked under control in approximately 20 minutes.

Stafford County is Virginia’s fastest-growing locality, which means people choose Stafford as a place to call home and visit.

As the pandemic fades and more people venture outside, new playing fields, parks, restaurants, breweries, and hotels draw more people to our area. That means those who work in the hospitality industry need more resources to promote the great things happening in their businesses.
