The Democrat says the combined $396 million will improve the quality of life in Prince William County.
“We need to address roads because our traffic is impacting commutes and quality of life,” Zargarpur told me.
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors identified a list of road ($355 million) and park ($41 million) projects that would be funded by the bonds.
- Voters will have a chance to approve the bonds on Election Day Tuesday, November 5.
Why it matters: If approved, the bonds represent the largest investment in county infrastructure in at least 10 years.
Why the School Board should care: A current funding agreement in place between the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and the School Board, the schools would get 57% of all new tax monies raised to pay back bonds.
- That could be as much as a half-billion dollars in new taxes, Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, At-large told me.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
