WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Taxpayers will spend $75,000 on a study to determine if a mobile home park owner can put back trailers where a flood all but destroyed them during a tropical storm.

A settlement between Prince William County and the Holly Acres Mobile Home Park off U.S. 1 in Woodbridge, near Marumsco Plaza, requires the study to be conducted. In September 2011, the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee dumped several inches of rain across the area causing severe flooding that caused the Marumsco Creek to topple its banks and spill into the park and along U.S. 1.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — There were no signs of a national recession on Saturday as thousands of shoppers packed the halls of Potomac Mill mall.

In Woodbridge and throughout Virginia, shoppers this weekend are taking advantage of not paying sales tax on clothing and school supplies. The annual tax holiday in effect since 2009 is seen as giving parents a break on back-to-school expenses while drawing more shoppers out to spur the economy.
