Virginia State Senator Danica Roem (D-30, Manassas Park, Manassas) met with the Manassas Park Governing Body on Tuesday to discuss legislative priorities for the upcoming 2025 Virginia General Assembly session. Roem, who recently relocated to Manassas Park, emphasized her commitment to addressing local needs and improving community infrastructure.
During the session, Roem expressed her ongoing efforts to collect community input to shape her legislative agenda effectively. "I am in my information gathering phase," Roem stated, explaining her approach to understanding the specific needs of the communities she represents, including Manassas Park, the City of Manassas, the town of Haymarket, and Prince William County.
Roem reassured the council of her support for local projects, such as the much-needed streetlight improvements along Manassas Drive. She asked for updates on federal grants applied for and the amount of city money already allocated to the project to determine how much state coverage is needed.
