Funding largely restored to programs facing cuts, Prince William budget process far from over

By Uriah Kiser

In a rare Saturday meeting, the Prince William County Board of Supervisors largely moved to restore funding to community services and programs that just earlier this week had been on the chopping block.

Millions in funding for Virginia Cooperative Extension programs, jailhouse drug rehabilitation programs, the Flory Small Business Center, gang awareness programs, funds for Prince William Soccer Inc., and the Boys and Girls Club – just to name a few – we’re all added back into the fiscal year 2016 budget.

Manassas City Hall now doubles as a public art gallery.

The Hall at City Hall is open with an inaugural exhibit by the p-ART-ners, a professional network of Manassas area artists. What is The Hall at City Hall? It is the new place for local artists to display their work. When Councilman Ian Lovejoy talked to City Manager W. Patrick Pate about replacing the 1980’s artwork in City Hall at low or no cost, an idea was born.

In 2009 the City Council created an Arts and Tourism District in the Historic Downtown area of the city. With City Hall being right in the middle of the district, why not bring public art inside City Hall? Staff was tasked with learning about gallery space and making the area ready for artist displays.

By aiding the clubs to raise the money, they will be able to continue to offer their wide range of activities, particularly their athletics programs, Billingsley said.

More snow, up to an inch, is in the forecast today. The mercury is forecast to dip down again Thursday with an expected high temperature of 17 and a low of two degrees while wind chill factors will make it feel colder than that.
