Stafford County Parks and Recreation said a Thanksgiving-themed bowling event will run 5:30-7:30 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Rowser Building.
The event is $15 for residents and $17 for non-residents, for ages 6 and older, with limited spots. People can register online, and a food bank donation is suggested.
Fredericksburg Free Press reports that a former Stafford supervisor’s push to turn the closed Cannon Ridge golf course into a “historic adventure park” hit a roadblock at the Board of Supervisors.
Supervisors voted unanimously to advance other Comprehensive Plan amendments without the Cannon Ridge park designation after Hartwood Supervisor Darrell English objected, noting the land is privately owned by the Silver Companies.
Stafford County voters narrowly rejected a local sales tax of up to 1% dedicated to school construction and major renovations.
Unofficial results from the Virginia Department of Elections show No receiving 33,408 votes (50.47%) and Yes receiving 32,780 votes (49.53%). The margin is about 628 votes. All 37 precincts have reported.
Stafford County supervisors failed early Wednesday to adopt a Business, Professional and Occupational License tax after a marathon public hearing that stretched past midnight.
Chairman Deuntay T. Diggs announced that the motion to approve Proposed Ordinance O26-34 as advertised “failed.” The meeting, which began at 5 p.m. Tuesday, adjourned at 12:59 a.m.
