Prince William Board of County Supervisors
|
The Board of County Supervisors awarded a contract to Verizon to expand high-speed internet access throughout the county in an effort to reduce the percentage of county residents without it. According to a county press release, the goal is to reduce the number of residents without access to less than 1.5%.
A National Institute of Health study shows that between 2018 and 2022, 96% of Prince William County residents had high-speed access; in comparison to counties in the Northern Virginia region, Prince William ranks among Fairfax City and Fairfax County (96%), Falls Church City (97%), Loudon County (96%) and Manassas City (96%).
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors unanimously approved a Special Use Permit for a new Starbucks near Dumfries.
The coffee shop will replace an old Ruby Tuesday restaurant. The permit allows a drive-through facility in connection with a by-right restaurant and associated sign modifications in the B-1 General Business zoning district. The project was praised for being a veteran-owned business.

($ Prince William Times) The developer and landowners involved in the controversial Mid-County Industrial Park, which could bring three, 90-foot-tall data centers just north of Va. 234 and Minnieville Road, have put tens of thousands of dollars into the campaign coffers of three key supervisors in the past year, according to available campaign finance reports.
Supervisors Yesli Vega, Margaret Franklin and Andrea Bailey benefited from more than $70,000 collectively from developers and landowners associated with the project.
