There will be one less traffic light in Fredericksburg.

The traffic signal at the intersection of George and Prince Edward Streets, near Hurkamp Park in Downtown Fredericksburg, stopped working properly earlier this year, city officials tell us.


Prince William

The Prince William County Service Authority will recognize this year’s winners of its annual Water Art Invitational contest in a video rather than hosting an awards ceremony.

That ceremony was scheduled to take place today, Thursday, March 12. In addition to the video, there will also be in-classroom presentations for the students who participated in the event.


Schools

Virginia First Lady Pamela Northam recently visited Marumsco Hills Elementary School to show her support of early childhood programs. Northam visited the Virginia Preschool Initiative (VPI) classroom of Andrea Gillespie and read the book, “Are You Ready for Spring?” to the students.

“We are so thrilled to be here in Prince William County,” Northam said. “We’re so appreciative of the innovative work you all are doing combining local, state and federal funding to do this incredible work for early childhood. We really want to see the rest of the Commonwealth doing a great job as they are doing here in this school we saw today.”
