New Department Created to Streamline Building
Prince William County recently created a new Department called the Department of Developmental Services (DDS). Headed by Wade Hugh, this department will help streamline building development in the County. The creation of DDS will certainly help residents, attract new business to the County, and enhance the County’s reputation as a premier community. If you have questions on development or any other topic please feel free to contact Supervisor Stirrup by phone at (703) 792-6195 or by email at
