Jeanine Lawson ordered her new business cards that she’ll hand to constituents showing that she is the Brentsville District Supervisor.
The printed office address on those cards is Innovation Park @ Prince William – the development that has become to embody Prince William County’s economic expansion efforts. It’s home to biotech firms, and George Mason University’s Prince William Campus, and now to Lawson and her staff.
After winning a Special Election in December, Lawson was moved into offices inside “Innovation” park. It’s space that’s leased by the county and has been used by its public works division.
Lawson could have left the office space but ultimately decided to stay put. Her decision will save taxpayers an estimated $200,000 or more – money that would have been spent on a new office space for the Supervisor.
“I just didn’t the expense was justified,” explained Lawson. “This is property the county is already leasing.”
The Supervisor has requested some minor improvements to her office space, to include a new kitchenette. The work has yet to be completed, and county officials told Potomac Local they don’t yet have cost estimates for the work.
Keeping the office at “Innovation” will allow more of the constituents who visit with Lawson and her staff to see the development, she added.
Former Brentsville District Supervisor Wally Covington had his office located at the old Prince William Courthouse, next to the current courthouse. The office, now occupied by staffers at the Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, sits in the doughnut-shaped circle of property belonging to Prince William County, carved out of Manassas City.
Lawson is finishing the term of former Supervisor Wally Covington, who is now a judge in the Prince William County Courthouse. She will hold the office until November when she’ll seek reelection to a full term.
