To the residents of Woodbridge,
With Thanksgiving upon us, I would like to take this opportunity to give thanks to the residents of Woodbridge for re-electing me to a second term. I look forward to continuing to work together to create the “New Woodbridge.” We will revitalize the Route 1 corridor, implement smart growth principles, explore a variety of transportation solutions, preserve our neighborhoods, and work to build a stronger sense of community.
I vow to offer the citizens of Woodbridge the same vision, energy, and focus of the last four years. I am honored to serve the people of Woodbridge, and I look forward to fulfilling our continued goal to make Woodbridge an excellent place to live, work, and play.
For more information on the Woodbridge District, please feel free to contact my office at 703-792-4646. To sign up for my quarterly newsletter, sent electronically and by mail, or to find out more about the Woodbridge District, please visit newwoodbridge.org.
Sincerely,
Frank J. Principi
Woodbridge, Virginia
