Stafford County recently announced they had received $8.4 million in transportation funding through the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Revenue Sharing Program for roadway improvements on Shelton Shop Road, Leeland Road and the U.S. Route 1/Courthouse Road Intersection.

The Stafford County Board of Supervisors recently passed an ordinance to remove monuments and flag poles from the list of structures exempt from height limitations in the county’s code.
The move comes after an 80-foot-flag pole along Interstate 95, and a Confederate battle flag the flew atop it, sparked years of debate in the region about whether or not to remove the pole and flag.
