“The Town Hall office will be closed on Monday, January 26th, due to inclement weather,” the Town of Haymarket announced. “The Town Council’s Work Session scheduled for Monday, January 26th has been canceled due to inclement weather.”

“An FBI investigation into an alleged drug and gun trafficking conspiracy, with significant activity at Haymarket’s Rancho Los Cerritos farm, culminated in Wednesday’s raid on the property and several arrests,” InsideNoVa reported. “The affidavit states he sold numerous firearms, including pistols, rifles and a shotgun, as well as cocaine and fentanyl to a confidential source.”
At the scene Thursday, an FBI agent told an InsideNoVa reporter, “this is a secured scene” and “you can’t be here.”
Nearly half of Prince William County residents are going to bed hungry several nights a week, according to new data shared Monday night with the Haymarket Town Council.
Eileen Smith, director of the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry, told council members that 43% of county residents now experience food insecurity — the second-highest rate in the D.C. region and up sharply from 36% last year.
“We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve and hope this event provides a bit of relief during a challenging time,” Haymarket Regional Food Pantry announced. “Each eligible worker will receive a box of shelf-stable groceries – no registration required.”
The pantry will hold the pop-up distribution on Sunday, November 9, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at its Haymarket location. Federal employees affected by the shutdown can participate by presenting a valid government ID, regardless of where they live. The organization plans to distribute 300 food boxes, made possible by a longtime donor and community partners.
The Haymarket Town Council will meet tonight to interview applicants for open seats — including one left vacant after the recent resignation of Councilwoman Mary Ramirez, the top vote-getter in the 2021 election.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Monday, November 3, at Town Hall, 15000 Washington Street, Suite 100. Residents can attend in person or watch live on the town’s YouTube channel at youtube.com/@TownofHaymarket/streams.
