“Prince William County is launching an Agribusiness & Agritourism Study in partnership with Agritecture LLC to develop a comprehensive strategy that will grow our rural economy, enhance agritourism experiences, and ensure that agribusiness continues to thrive,” Prince William County reported.

Managed by the Department of Economic Development and Tourism over a 28-week period, the study includes market research, competitive benchmarking, industry analysis of agriculture and agritourism sectors, and recommendations for an Arts and Agritourism Overlay District, with community conversations scheduled July 27-29 across the county to gather stakeholder feedback on preliminary findings.

InsideNoVa reported that Peggy Curry, 70, a longtime front-of-house manager at Montclair Family Restaurant in Prince William County, passed away while on the job July 11, 2026.

The tight-knit Northern Virginia community has shared heartfelt tributes to Curry, a seven-time winner of InsideNoVa’s Best of Prince William for best waitress, who was described by owner Francesco Leone as the restaurant’s irreplaceable “heart” and like a mother to him.
