Board of County Supervisors Begins Year with Elections, Calendar Adoption and State of the County

During its first meeting of the calendar year, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors conducts essential organizational business, including adoption of the annual meeting calendar, election of a vice chair and chair pro tempore, and delivery of the State of the County address by the chair at-large. 

This year, Chair At-Large Deshundra Jefferson delivered her third State of the County address, reflecting on the top five accomplishments in 2025 that she said best tell the county’s story. 

Jefferson highlighted key achievements from 2025 that reflect a year of coordinated progress across county government. She pointed to the adoption of the 2025–2028 Strategic Plan, continued tax relief paired with strong investments in public safety, infrastructure and education, and expanded access to affordable housing through the county’s first Affordable Dwelling Unit Ordinance and long-term funding commitments. Jefferson also emphasized efforts to modernize service delivery with the launch of PWC 311 and expand behavioral health care through the opening of the Prince William Crisis Receiving Center Complex. Looking ahead, she underscored the Board’s continued focus on thoughtful planning, responsible investment and people-centered governance. 

“We will continue to make decisions that reflect our values, protect our quality of life and ensure that Prince William County remains a place where people want to live, work, raise a family and call home,” Jefferson said. “Prince William County is a growing community. It’s a thriving community. It’s a vibrant community, and it is one we are building together. As we look ahead to the coming year, I am confident in our direction and inspired by our potential.” 

Jefferson concluded by inviting people in the community to attend the second annual State of the County event on Monday, Jan. 26, at the Hylton Performing Arts Center. There will be an open house from 6-7 p.m. and the event will start at 7 p.m.
