Quick Bites

  • Woodbridge’s Population Skyrockets as Families Flock to the Suburbs

    Woodbridge, Virginia has experienced explosive growth over the past decade, ranking second nationwide for population increase between 2014 and 2023. Its population surged ninefold, driven by its close proximity to Washington, D.C., and a significantly more affordable housing market. As more people sought suburban alternatives to urban living, Woodbridge expanded its housing stock sevenfold to keep pace with demand. The average home price in the area, now around $488,000, remains well below the capital’s $601,000 average. This trend reflects a broader shift toward smaller, suburban cities that offer space, value, and access to major job markets. (Storage Cafe)

  • 14th High School Project to Use Groundbreaking Labor Agreement in Prince William

    The Prince William County School Board has approved a pilot Project Labor Agreement for the construction of its 14th high school, delayed until 2029-30. The PLA sets employment standards for union and non-union workers and includes incentives for local and minority-owned businesses. Approved in a 6-2 vote, the initiative aims to boost workforce quality and offer training opportunities, though some board members voiced concerns about costs and being the first school division in Virginia to implement such a policy.
