MANASSAS, Va. -- The Manassas Economic Development Authority recovered half of a $10,000 grant to a now defunct after-school program.
City EDA Chairman Holmes Smith said Alice Megler, CEO of the NEW School which opened on Liberia Avenue this past spring and closed by fall, came to his house on December 13 and gave him a $5,000 check.
"This was the first payment in paying her debt back," Smith said. "She said that is her intent to pay the whole debt back. But she said the NEW School wasn't dead. She said they're working on trying to get another site, and I turned that check over to our director, so that's good news."
