WOODBRIDGE — An effort to hike taxes on data centers in Prince William County failed at a special meeting Wednesday night.
A 4-4 tie vote killed a proposal touted by Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart At-large that would have increased taxes on the current seven data centers in the county, as well as future data centers to be built, from $1.25 to doubling it over five years to $2.50 per $100 of assessed value.
STAFFORD — An Xbox was taken from a home on Page Street on Saturday, April 6 at 12:45 a.m. A sheriff’s deputy was called after the gaming system was reported stolen.
The deputy learned the residents had been awakened when a stranger entered their home through a sliding door and stole several items located on their screened-in porch, including the Xbox, according to Stafford sheriff’s spokeswoman.
WOODBRIDGE — (Press release) The recent senior prom at the Woodbridge Senior Center invoked old memories and made new ones when people got dressed up and went to the dance.

WOODBRIDGE — Prince William County leaders are aiming to hike taxes on data centers, hoping the new funds will help the county shed its bedroom community reputation and become a destination to live, work, and play.
Board of County Supervisors Chairman At-large Corey Stewart, a Republican who recently ran a failed U.S. Senate campaign against Democrat Tim Kaine, proposes raising the current tax rate on data centers from $1.25 to $2, netting an additional $9.6 million annually.
