INFORM FREDERICKSBURG—New Opportunities, Future Posts, And How You Can Help

 First, let us thank our 500+ followers on Facebook. We hope you will continue your support of Inform Fredericksburg by following us on X/Twitter and Instagram under the username—informfred. And while we will continue using Facebook, we understand our posts can get lost within the myriad of others so we have set-up a blog—informfred.blogspot.com. 

We hope you will subscribe using popular feed readers, or send us your e-mail, to be notified of posts, have quick access to prior posts, contact information on city government, and of course, the opportunity to pass on your comments, suggestions, and questions to us and others interested in the future of Fredericksburg.

 We hope you will also pass on this information to friends and family in The Burg and those interested in transparency in city government and the city’s future. A lot is happening that is not getting much coverage in the local press. We will continue to try to fill that void. 

 To that end, we will continue to cover Mary’s Landing and Jeremiah projects, the city’s Comprehensive Plan review, and data centers. In the coming weeks, we will also be posting on:

 **Council plans to eliminate the Railroad Overlay District. What will this mean for future development around the train station? What will be the impact of the city’s Historic District? In 2023 the City Council voted down a development project after significant neighborhood opposition in the 400 block of Princess Anne Street.  Council discussions to date point to higher density and building heights which would make that project by-right.

 **In March 2021 the city moved away from a joint wastewater treatment plant with Spotsylvania County. Where is the project now? Are the now two projects meeting the goals of the original combined facility? How have the costs changed?

 **The new visitor center is nearing completion. When the sale of the old site was approved it was on the understanding the funds from the sale would cover the cost of the new visitor center. Did that happen? What were the details of the city’s sale of the old visitor center to the EDA and then to the new owner?

 If there are any topics you would like to see covered, please drop us an e-mail. And again, please get the word out about Inform Fredericksburg.
