A new boardwalk is poised to take shape along Neabsco Creek in Woodbridge.
Officials plan to build phase one of a 3,000-foot long, 10-foot wide boardwalk in the Julie Metz Wetlands near where the Neabsco Creek meets the Potomac River. The walkway will be a part of the larger 830-mile Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail that will run from Pittsburgh to the Northern Neck Peninsula of Virginia.
The Mary G. Porter Traditional School will not be moving to the “Ferlazzo Site”, according to a letter sent out by the Prince William Superintendent of Schools Steven Walts on April 20.
The conversation about building a new school for Porter Traditional School to relocate to– on the corner of Spriggs and Minnieville Roads – began as a means to address overcrowding in the classrooms, a large amount of classroom trailers used at schools, and to expand enrollment, said Walts’ letter.

Two Republicans seeking to lead the Prince William County Board of Supervisors sat down for a debate on Saturday.
