Prince William police press release:
Prince William County Schools (PWCS) intends to build a new elementary school adjacent to Chinn Park and the residential communities near Prince William Parkway and Trowbridge Drive. To date, the only information provided by PWCS is a one-page planning summary that does not fully explain what could happen when PWCS purchases only 14.9 acres of a 21.7-acre property, just enough land to squeeze in a new school and leave the rest available for additional private development. The community is concerned.
We have met with PWCS and they have provided only verbal assurances on some of the community’s concerns. Many questions remain about potential stormwater impacts, noise impacts, and traffic congestion issues. Of special alarm is the extremely small buffer shown between the proposed school and both the surrounding community and Chinn Park.

After seven years in business, and having to turn away hundreds of tourists due to space limitations, the Manassas Junction B&B is expanding.
Owners Mark and Ann Hempen plan to rehabilitate an existing outbuilding on the property into a 450-square-foot cottage suite for the Bed and Breakfast. The addition will provide a third “room” for guests; currently, two rooms are available for rent in the 2,700 square foot main house. As a long time residents of the City, the Hempen’s hope the addition will encourage additional tourists “to enjoy and be enriched by the history, culture, and friendliness of Manassas.”
