PRINCE WILLIAM, VA…..The Prince William Board of County Supervisors appointed a renowned list of regional and national leaders in the business and education community to serve on the Prince William County Economic Development Task Force. The list includes representatives from Governor-Elect McDonnell’s Transition Team, George Mason University, Northern Virginia Community College and numerous business leaders.
The Economic Development Task Force will work within a six-month window (beginning with their inaugural meeting early next year) to make specific recommendations to the Board of County Supervisors on Economic Development, including a new public private entity that will take the place of the current Economic Development Council. “These recommendations will enable us to hold our position as one of the nation’s leading communities in which to do business,” Stewart said.
“The Task Force will look beyond the work of our existing Department of Economic Development into new opportunities. All options and ideas are on the table.”
In short, business needs a permanent seat at our table,” Stewart, elected at-large by Prince William County’s nearly 400,000 citizens, concluded.
