Prince William

Prince William County Public Schools approved a $1.5 billion Fiscal Year 2024 operating budget, which will take effect July 1, 2023.

The budget, dependent upon the Real Estate tax rate set by the Board of County Supervisors, is 7% larger than the previous year’s budget. Driving the higher numbers is an anticipated 1,800 more students than the previous year, 5% cost-of-living raises for teachers and substitutes, and new start-up costs for a new elementary school off Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge.


News

The Stafford County Government is beginning work on a $990,000 stream restoration project in St. Clair Brooks Memorial Park, located at 80 Butler Road in Falmouth. It will begin near the pedestrian bridge below the overhead power lines and meanders south toward Pratt Park.

The project will prevent pollutants from reaching the Rappahannock River and the Chesapeake Bay by restoring an unnamed 1,500-foot tributary, decreasing erosion, and promoting natural habit, a press release states. The press release adds that the effort will reduce the amount of runoff, sediment, and pollutants and make the stream more sustainable.
