WOODBRIDGE, Va. — The Potomac Health Foundation announced $2.7 million in funding for area organizations that provide access to better healthcare.
The grants were awarded to 26 organizations in what was dubbed a competitive application process that spanned December 2013 through June of this year.
The Prince William County Board of Supervisors recently passed an amendment to the Prince William County Zoning Ordinance. This amendment, Motor Vehicle Repair ZTA #PLN2013-00326, addresses the size of the lot where a homeowner may work on vehicles of his own or for his friends and family.
I want to tell you, right off the bat, this is not a new ordinance. The only change I discerned was the adaptation that reduces the impact from lots smaller than 10 acres, to the newer “less than 3 acres.”
KJ Mushung, a reporter and copy editor for Potomac Local News, has won nine state press awards for work published in 2013.
