STAFFORD — Fourteen years ago the Board of Supervisors set aside two percent of the Transient Occupancy Tax to help finance a Stafford County Museum and Cultural Center. While the tax was diverted to the General Fund in 2010, nearly one million dollars remain for the museum to use.
Now the Museum Foundation, which separated from the county government and became a 501C-(3) in 2010, has requested and received $250,000 of it’s reserved funds after Board approval.
STAFFORD — In June, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and Stafford County’s “wedge widening” project to widen Andrew Chapel Road was finished.
Drivers on Andrew Chapel Road will notice wider shoulders, a new layer of asphalt and brighter, freshly painted lane markings between Courthouse Road and Brooke Road.
Drivers planning to use Route 15 where it runs together with Route 29 (Route 15/29) at Prince William / Fauquier County border should prepare for a detour and delays.
Construction will take place between July 8 and Aug. 2, during which the highway’s northbound lanes will be closed.
