COMMUNITY CONVERSATION – “Where Are We Headed?”
Monday, March 16 – 7-9 PM – Sweeney Barn
Join in the Conversation! Come share your thoughts, stories, and ideas!
This evening event upstairs at PWC’s elegant Sweeney Barn provides an opportunity to speak personally with Gainesville and Brentsville county supervisors – George Stewart and Tom Gordy.
Additionally, Ashley Studholme from the Prince William Conservation Alliance will present their view of current challenges and their strategic vision for moving PWC forward more sustainably.
Bring your latest electric bill showing your increased costs for a chance to win a prize. We’ll bundle these up and present them to the PWC Board of Supervisors following the event! Admission includes appetizers and drink tickets.
Everyone is welcome to bring their questions, chat, and listen. Let’s talk about:
- Industrialization of our communities
- Higher density housing sprawl
- Development pressure risking water quality and quantity
- Imagining better and smarter growth
- Changing our trajectory
Grab a seat at the table, bring your concerns, and let’s build something great together!

Nothing is going to get better.
It’s not.” The Lorax

We have in Prince William County a very real opportunity to demonstrate a conscientious regard for ecology, rural life, and the self-determination that has been the hallmark of some of our best achievements as a nation. This is not a refusal of progress or development. It is an embrace of good, sustainable communities, and can point towards a better future for all.
Saying no to inappropriate development is saying yes to preserving a better future for all of Northern Virginia.
An informed citizenry is the best defense to save the Rural Crescent.
