Stafford

Stafford County has canceled the Planning Commission meeting scheduled for Wednesday, October 14, after the applicant and county staff agreed to postpone public hearings on four large data center proposals along Kings Highway until November 18, 2026.

The county said the delay will allow further review and refinement of the applications so they are fully prepared for consideration. The projects were the only business on the October 14 agenda.

Drivers on Kings Highway may wonder what happened to the long-standing sign for Fredericksburg Motor Sports.

On Aug. 9, a male driver in a pick-up truck attempted to turn right into the entrance between Sheetz and Burger King. Stafford County Sheriff’s office said the vehicle was traveling too fast, and struck the sign. The driver sustained minor injuries, and no other vehicles were involved. Both fire and police responded to the scene within minutes.
