“Companies seek Prince William as a development destination rather than economic development officials luring them in, Winn said. The economic development office simply helps companies become established once they’ve received the green light from elected officials.”

Winn also “said the that election’s results bear no impact on how her office plans to conduct business moving forward.” That aligns with Chair Ann Wheeler’s apparent intent to ignore the electorate and continue her overly solicitous attitude toward the data center industry unfettered. Her fealty to the lords commerce transcends any obligation to those she was elected to represent.

By Amelia Breeden

Published July 21, 2023 at 9:00AM

Prince William County: “Today, Prince William County launched Fentanyl Exposed, a fentanyl overdose prevention campaign targeting at-risk youth and young adults in the greater Prince William County area. The campaign seeks to empower and educate young people about the risks and dangers of fentanyl-laced substances, such as illicit pills and powders, while providing critical knowledge on how to reduce the risk of a fatal overdose. Fentanyl Exposed is the first campaign in Prince William County to provide fentanyl prevention messaging specifically for teens.”

“Fentanyl, which is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine, causes more deaths among people under 50 in the United States than cancer, heart disease, suicide, homicide and accidents, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fentanyl is everywhere and use of the deadly, synthetic opioid in the greater Prince William County area has been on the rise since 2018.”
