STAFFORD — The new Stafford County Armed Services Memorial was a quick build.
Officials awarded the contract to construct the $838,000 memorial at the county government center to Kline Memorials, of Manassas. It was a natural fit for a company that in recent years had won contracts with the National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico, Arlington National Cemetery, and the CIA.

STAFFORD — A once bustling McDonalds on Courthouse Road now looks like the restaurant at the center of a ghost town.
The company shuttered the restaurant to make for a new diverging diamond interchange (DDI) to be constructed by VDOT. The interchange is similar that opened this past spring in Haymarket.
