Manassas Airport officials this month voted to make some key changes at Virginia’s largest municipal airfield.

First, the airport is working to shorten the list of pilots’ names on a list to rent hangar space at the airport. A total of 160 people are waiting for a covered space to store their planes at the airport as of June 16. On average, it’s a two to three-year wait, said Richard Allabaugh, airport spokesman.

I remember the first time I covered a meeting of the Prince William County Planning Commission.

The body, appointed by members of the Board of County Supervisors, meets regularly and is tasked with making recommendations to the Supervisors on land-use matters. Putting simply, if a large development like a neighborhood of homes or a large shopping mall is built, plans for the new development have most likely passed through the Planning Commission.
