The first denial, in a 7-1 vote, came for the Maple Valley Grove development, which would’ve had 274 units on nearly 24 acres of land. The proposal had 242 multi-family stacked units and 32 multi-family traditional units.
The second denial was for the Hoadly Square rezoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendment, which would’ve changed the land-use designation for about 48 acres from the Occoquan Reservoir Protection Area (ORPA) to a mixed-use neighborhood. The total area was 58 acres for 279 units, 265 of which were single-family attached homes and 14 single-family detached.

Stafford County’s emerging practice of routing media questions for elected officials through government staff is not just a change in communication strategy — it is a direct threat to transparency. It creates a wall between residents and their representatives, insulating leaders from basic accountability and weakening the democratic norms that make local government work.
This gatekeeping did not appear in a vacuum. It followed weeks of questions surrounding Garrisonville District Supervisor Dr. Pamela Yeung, who abstained from a major data center vote on October 22 without offering any explanation. Residents spent hours speaking at that meeting. The standards were described as some of the strongest in Virginia. Every supervisor present either voted for or against them — except Yeung, who opted out and has never said why.

The line would run through multiple counties, connecting existing and planned substations, and public meetings are underway ahead of eventual State Corporation Commission review.
