There’s a new Board of County Supervisors in Prince William, and some elected leaders on the public body are looking for ways to serve more people outside of regular meeting dates and times.

Supervisors have been talking about holding more evening sessions so that commuters might have the opportunity to come and speak on an issue. Occoquan District Supervisor Kenny Boddye has also suggested meetings to be held on Saturdays, something that is unheard of in Prince William County but commonplace for the Arlington County Board, which holds its regular meetings at 8:30 a.m.
