The City of Manassas Park Farmers Market kicked off its 2026 season on Saturday, drawing shoppers to fresh local goods and a vibrant community atmosphere in the heart of the small city.
Here’s what’s coming tomorrow:
Your support keeps this independent local journalism strong and connected to what matters in Prince William, Stafford, Fredericksburg, and beyond.
🏠 Manassas Park signals water and sewer rate hikes as city leaders and consultants warn that revenues no longer cover rising wholesale costs, debt, and capital needs. For a typical household with a 5/8-inch meter using 3,000 gallons a month, the combined bill already sits in the higher quartile regionally. Officials flag a potential “shock” to families while they review base charges, usage rates, the general-fund transfer, and senior relief options — with recommendations expected in the coming weeks.
🏫 Manassas City Public Schools takes on a new role as host for the Virtual Virginia Academy in its adopted $175.8 million FY2027 budget. The partnership brings $6.8 million in state pass-through funding and serves roughly 800 out-of-district students statewide. It expands tuition-free online learning options for local families needing flexibility due to health, travel, athletics, or other circumstances — without drawing resources from traditional brick-and-mortar schools.
A 41-year-old Manassas man died Friday afternoon, April 10, 2026, after his car pulled onto Harbor Drive from a private road and was struck by another vehicle in the Lake Ridge area of Woodbridge.
Prince William County police responded around 2:29 p.m. April 10 to the intersection of Harbor Drive and a private road across from 12730 Harbor Drive. Investigators said Joseph Franklin Ledoux was driving a 2014 Hyundai Sonata when it entered Harbor Drive and collided with a southbound 2018 Dodge Durango. Ledoux was pronounced dead at the scene.
