Prince William Board of County Supervisors

Two Prince William County residents who sued elected members of the Board of County Supervisors will have their day in the Virginia Supreme Court on Tuesday, November 1.
The state high court agreed to hear the case brought by Alan Gloss and Carol Fox, who are suing all five Democrats on the Board of County Supervisors individually. The suit alleges they violated Virginia’s open meetings law in 2020, in the hours following riots near Manassas, promoted by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Police and local government officials are preparing for one of the most anticipated public meetings in recent years, as the Board of County Supervisors will decide to allow data centers on 2,100 acres next to Manassas National Battlefield.
It’s the largest land-use case in county history, larger than 150 Walmart Supercenters, and 15 times larger than the area of Potomac Mills mall. It’s also proven to be one of the most contentious, as the meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 1, and will last into the early morning hours of the following day.

Updated 2 p.m. — Prince William County Brentsville District Supervisor Jeanine Lawson will hold a rally to urge leaders to defer a decision on a massive data center development plan.
Lawson and conversationalist groups will rally at Lake Ridge Marina on the Occoquan Reservoir, 12350 Cotton Mill Drive, to urge Supervisors to delay a decision on the controversial Prince William Digital Gateway.
A public meeting will be held Thursday, November 9, at the existing senior center, 13850 Church Hill Drive, just off Prince William Parkway, at 1 p.m. It’s one of two meetings the government has held to solicit feedback about the new center.
So far, the county has not released conceptual drawings of a new center, said where it could be built, or what amenities it would include. All of that is expected to be unveiled at a Board of County Supervisors meeting in December.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors raised its Intergovernmental Support Agreement with the base to $5 million, up from $2 million, allowing the county’s department of public works to work on additional projects on the base while lessening Quantico’s reliance on the Federal Government’s procurement process.
The change means more small projects like procuring additional right of way, tree clearing, road repairs, miscellaneous brick repairs, and other smaller projects could be completed sooner than later.
