Downey & Mayhugh, P.C., 82 Main St 20186 Warrenton, VA, US

The Prince William County Board of Supervisors met early last week to discuss the Commonwealth Transportation Board’s plan to turn a Haymarket farm on Antioch Road into a park and ride lot to support expansion and possible tolls on I-66. Jim Downey spoke on behalf of the farm owners requesting that their property be taken out of consideration. VDOT has agreed to look into alternatives partly as a result of Jim Downey’s presentation and representation of his client. http://www.northernvatimes.com//a/i-66-plan-hits-roadblock

The Warrenton Town Council met Tuesday and voted in favor of a special use permit with conditions to build a 90-unit assisted living facility behind the American Legion post.

The Warrenton Town Council vote on the proposed American Legion assisted living facility has been delayed until October 13. James Downey, of Downey & Mayhugh, PC, is representing the American Legion and has been working with the town and residents on the project. Originally proposed as a 120-room assisted living facility for veterans off of the East Shirley Avenue American Legion Hall, it is now proposed for only 90 rooms. The Warrenton town council will vote at the next meeting October 13. http://www.fauquiernow.com//fauquier-american-legion-assis
