Wake Up: Future of rail, free meals, parks and rec honored

Good morning, everyone. I hope you enjoyed your extra hour. This is the “good” time change. Here’s what’s happening around our area this morning.

Future of bus and rail: A new study recommends no VRE to Haymarket, and bus-rapid transit, and Metro to Woodbridge. Prince William County Supervisors Kenny Boddye and Victor Angry invite community members to join them for a virtual town hall on the Future of Transit, Nov. 16, 6:30 to 8 p.m. to discuss what these results could mean.

18 and younger eat free: Stafford County Public Schools will be serving after-school snacks at no charge to children 18 and under through the At-Risk Afterschool Meals Program.

Library sale: Headed home for the holidays? The trip goes easier with new books to read. The Rappahannock Regional Library will hold a book sale on the Friday before Thanksgiving.

Southbound: We’ve got midday delays to contend with on Interstate 95 south in Stafford County this week.

OmniRide: No OmniRide Express commuter bus service on Thursday, November 11. Metro Express routes and Local and East-West Express routes will operate with regular service.

Open for business: A total of 28 companies received a certificate of occupancy letter in September 2021, marking 280 new businesses to open in Prince William County this year. 

Fxbg parks honored: Fredericksburg, Parks, Recreation, and Events received two awards: Best New Program for the Camp@Home Program and Best New Special Event for the Reverse Christmas Parade.

ICYMI: Two prominent leaders in Prince William County will join Delegate Jason Mirayes as he transitions into his new role as Virginia Attorney General.
