PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — An ongoing collaboration to sell the “Greater Prince William” region to travelers and businesses may soon be a thing of the past.
Discover Prince William and Manassas, the region’s convention and visitor’s bureau, promotes Prince William County and the city of Manassas as a place to day trip while visiting the nation’s capital, hold business meetings, and youth sports travel tournaments. The two localities work together under the “Discover” brand, which operates as a private 501(c)6 corporation funded, in part, with hotel taxes from each jurisdiction.
