The county’s fire and rescue department have operated from a trailer near the intersection of Garrisonville and Shelton Shop roads since 2012. It razed a 1920’s-era farmhouse so it could place the trailer on the corner for firefighters to use as a makeshift firehouse.

A new $6.5 million station to replace that trailer is about a year behind schedule. The station building is up, and the bay doors affixed.

Haymarket Town Councilwoman Bond Cavazos resigned from her post on September 10. She had been elected in June 2018 and her term would have ended June 2020.

When reached for comment Mayor David Leake said, “In my opinion, this is simply inaccurate. She voted with a majority of council 87.9% of the time and only against the majority of council in three matters.”


Business

Just after Micron announced its $3 billion expansion in Manassas in August 2018, where it will manufacture chips for self-driving cars, city Mayor Hal Parrish II spilled the beans.

The city did little, if anything at all, to let surrounding jurisdictions like Prince William County know they were talking with Micron about the major expansion, Parrish told us during an interview at a Prince William Chamber of Commerce networking event at Carmellos.
