Woodbridge, Va. — Prince William County has three new assistant fire chiefs.
Each was promoted last night at a ceremony at C.D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge.
“The goal of the Park Authority is to provide premier parks and recreation services to the residents of Prince William County,” said Brenda Gardziel, Park Authority Chair. “When you begin to factor in the number of residents we have to serve, the amount of park-land to develop and preserve, and the number of participants in our recreational activities, it becomes clear that by merging into Prince William County Government, there will be greater opportunities to meet the growing needs of our citizens.”
The Park Authority was established as a separate corporation in 1977, by the Board of County Supervisors, to provide the residents and visitors with quality recreational programs, parks and facilities. At that time, Prince William County had a population of over 150,000 residents and three parks. Today, Prince William County serves over 410,000 residents with 67 park properties comprising over 4,000 acres, and 289 fields. The majority of funding for the Park Authority comes from the County’s General Fund.

Prince William Woodbridge Supervisor Frank Principi stated the two-lane bridge near Rippon Boulevard needs to be replaced at a cost of $1 million, and that a portion of Blackburn Road will remain closed as repairs are made.
