Batestown Road Family Reunion
2021-06-19 10:30 - 14:00 | Merchant Park, 3944 Cameron St, Dumfries, VA, 22026, United States
Batestown is a predominantly African American community in eastern Prince William County that was founded in the 1820s. The community was one of only a handful of African American communities in Northern Virginia prior to the Civil War. After the Civil War, Batestown grew in population as formerly enslaved people moved here. Soon it became known as the African American section of Dumfries. Mainly farmers, some residents also worked at the nearby Pyrite Mine and Quantico Marine Corps Base. New work opportunities in the area drew new residents from throughout Virginia to Batestown, with some families moving as far away as Richmond to Batestown. By the 20th century the community grew large enough to support a church and school. In the 1930s the Federal government threatened eminent domain if local landowners did not sell their land to create Prince William Forrest Park. Not all sections of Batestown were incorporated into the Park, and the community still survives today.

Affordable Housing Virtual Town Hall with Supervisors Margaret Franklin and Kenny Boddye
2021-06-23 19:00 - 20:30 | Virtual Event
To Register: Click Here

Affordable Housing – What is it? Why do we need it? How do we get there?

About this event

“Housing is the missing ingredient to our region’s prosperity, and the smartest investment we could make is to add it back in.”
Prince William is one of the few Northern Virginia jurisdictions to not have affordable housing policies or funding. Now, as the County updates its Comprehensive and Strategic Plans, Supervisors Franklin and Boddye invite you to join them in a town hall on this important topic.
A Community Foundation study of housing in the DC Metro region found critical gaps in housing affordability across jurisdictions and income levels. This has real economic and quality of life consequences for the community as a whole. “Without stable housing, it is difficult for people to obtain economic security, a quality education, good health and employment,” said Terri Lee Freeman, president of The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region.
Even middle-income households working in fields such as education, public safety and nursing can find themselves priced out of the market. It will take innovative policies and community collaboration to find a path forward.
The Supervisors will be joined by Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments Housing Programs Manager Hillary Chapman, PWC Community Development Director Rebecca Horner and PWC Planning Director Parag Agrawal. Together, the panel will take a local lens to this regional challenge, welcoming audience input via the Zoom chat. You can also submit your questions in advance during the registration process, using the link below.
