North Stafford, Va. — Paul Milde hadn’t used Twitter since June, so when he posted his latest Tweet on Saturday night he apparently wanted to make it count.
Milde, Stafford’s Aquia District Supervisor, threw his support behind Frank McKinney for Garrisonville District Supervisor. This comes after Milde earlier this month voted, with the rest of the Board, to appoint GOP Stafford School Board Member Ty Schieber to the Garrisonville Supervisor seat, on an interim basis, until voters go to the polls April 3 to select a permanent supervisor.
“Frank’s credentials easily make him the more conservative of the candidates,” said Milde.
He went on to say he likes Schieber personally, but McKinney is the best choice for Garrisonville.Â
Schieber, who prior to this seemed to be the GOP shoe-in candidate to replace former Garrissonville District Supervisor and Board Chairman, now Delegate Mark Dudenhefer.
Dudenhefer now represents Stafford and eastern Prince William counties in Virginia’s House of Delegates.
Schieber, Democrat Gary Pash, and now it appears McKinney, will all compete April 3 when voters will decide who will finish the remaining two years of Dudenhefer’s Board term.
According to his Facebook page, McKinney hails from Mississippi and works as a marketing consultant.
Milde has announced an information meeting about his decision to support McKinney that is scheduled to begin tonight at 7:30 at Hampton Oaks Elementary School, at 107 Northampton Boulevard in North Stafford.Â
As of late, Milde has attempted without much success to drum up support for the creation of an At-large Board seat. An At-large seat — which Schieber said he does not support — would represent all Stafford County residents, and serve as a political figure head for the county.

The Manassas City Council voted to extend a lucrative tax incentive for Micron Technology Inc. through 2035, solidifying the semiconductor company’s continued presence in the city. The deal, passed during the February 10, 2025, council meeting, ensures Micron’s annual tax payments increase by 4% while maintaining a lower tax rate than other manufacturers.
However, the decision has raised questions about a potential conflict of interest involving Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger. Multiple sources have indicated that Davis-Younger is in a relationship with Delbert Parks, Vice President and Site Director at Micron’s Manassas facility.
Parks is named in an official letter from the mayor, dated the same day as the vote, outlining the incentives offered to Micron. During the meeting, Vice Mayor Mark Wolfe alluded to the relationship, stating that “some of the comments floating around online are BS,” referring to speculation that the mayor’s ties to Parks influenced the tax break discussions.
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors has approved a 24-acre rezoning for a new data center development along Wellington Road, despite opposition from Supervisor Bob Weir and concerns about its proximity to Patriot High School.
On February 4, 2025, the board approved Rezoning #REZ2024-00042, NVA05C, changing the property’s zoning from agricultural and business districts to Planned Business District (PBD) to accommodate a data center. The site, located 700 feet southwest of Freedom Center Boulevard and Wellington Road, is part of Innovation Park, an area designated for high-tech development.
The rezoning application was submitted by STACK Infrastructure, which operates data centers in multiple locations across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. Some key Northern Virginia locations include:Â Manassas, Ashburn, and Leesburg.
Fredericksburg is taking another step forward to become a more walkable community with the recent start of construction off LaFayette Boulevard, which is part of the city’s Twin Lake Drive and Kensington Pedestrian Connector project.
This $2.4 million project includes extending a 10-foot wide paved shared-use path along the north side of Lafayette Boulevard between Twin Lake Drive and St. Paul Street in the City of Fredericksburg. The path will be accessible, with ramps and crosswalks built where the route intersects with Twin Lakes Drive, Springwood Drive, Kensington Place, and St. Paul Street.
The project includes a paved access point to the Virginia Central Railway Trail from the cul-de-sac of Springwood Drive, and a bike repair station will be installed at Alum Spring Park.
The process Fredericksburg City Council is following to fill the vacant Ward 3 seat could conflict with state code—especially with a provision added last year that states that governing bodies must publicly announce the names of those being considered to fill a vacant seat at least seven days before the appointment is made.
