Dumfries, Va. — The Dumfries Town Council will vote on an amendment to the town’s massage therapy fee at their Sept. 20 meeting.
The proposed changes include eliminating the $1,000 massage technician fee and charging a $50 permit fee for the town. There’s also a $204 permit investigation fee that goes to Prince William County that looks into details of the establishment and covers a thorough background check.

Dumfries, Va. —After nearly an hour and 45 minutes of listening to public comments, most from people associated with Grace Church, the Dumfries Town Council members looked a little worn. Forty-three people from various parts of Northern Virginia pleaded with the council not to pass a proposed amendment that would require churches to obtain a conditional use permit in order to operate. This move would be too costly to the church and force Grace Church and other churches out of Dumfries, according to many who commented Tuesday evening.

Dumfries, Va. — The Dumfries Town Council discussed reasons why the town’s requirement that “massage technicians” pay an annual $1,000 fee should be eliminated at their most recent meeting.
Kimberly Blanton, a Dumfries resident and massage therapist, originally brought the issue to Councilwoman Michele D. Jurgensen. Blanton spoke to the council during the work session saying that the $1,000 fee is too much for her to have to fork over after all that she has done to get licensed and certified. She told the council that, since this fee would have to be paid for each massage therapist every year, she would never be able to grow her business, at least not in Dumfries.
