• Planning Commission Approves Four Developments In Last 2025 Meeting (potomaclocal.com) — Several new housing developments that could affect Dale City commuters and neighborhoods just cleared the Prince William County Planning Commission, including a 13-home project near C.D. Hylton High School. Residents raised concerns about traffic, bike safety on Van Buren Road, and existing water and erosion problems in nearby communities, but commissioners still advanced all four rezonings as their final land-use decisions of 2025.
