WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Prince William officials must now decide if they are going borrow money to fund the remainder of a long wish list of improvements at county parks.
Officials must act by November 2016 to borrow up to $13.7 million to fund improvements such as adding new playing fields or lighting to existing fields. When the option to take out a bond to fund the improvements was advertised, and ultimately approved by voters eight years ago, officials said the money could be used to expand indoor swimming pools at the Chinn Fitness and Aquatics Center in Woodbridge and the Ben Lomond Community Center near Manassas.
