GAINESVILLE, Va. – The Prince William Board of County Supervisors unanimously agreed to proceed forward with a lighting project at Catharpin Park in the Gainesville District. Funding for the lights will come from revenues the county earned from the sale of stream mitigation credits for a project at nearby James Long Park.
This project will result in lights for a third Little League field and lights for a second baseball field.

VLI in May held a reception honoring their Top 10 Under 40 honorees, at Kora Restaurant in Crystal City.
“The Virginia Leadership Institute is proud to honor young African-Americans in Northern Virginia who are raising the bar in their professions and in the community,” said Virginia Leadership Institute founder and CEO Krysta Jones. “Our honorees are entrepreneurs, elected officials, military veterans, executives and community leaders. Not too long ago some Blacks avoided moving to Virginia because of the long-held stereotypes associated with Virginia’s role as a slave state. These honorees prove that young African Americans are actively working to make the commonwealth a better place for all Virginians to live and work.”

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Several versions of a new logo were considered in the search for what symbol should represent Prince William County.
Now that use of the infamous “blue box” logo has been halted, prior versions of a new logo for the county produced before the blue box design have been made public.
One of the really awesome things about living in the United States is that we have a huge diversity of land and climates across the country. While we are enjoying strawberries and blueberries, other parts of the U.S. are reaping different harvests.
In the last month, I’ve taken a few trips to see people that live in different states. Naturally, I insisted on visiting their local Farmer’s Market. It’s a great way to get ideas for our market and to see what’s in season there.
