This Week in Woodbridge
August 18, 2025 weekly subscriber update from the Woodbridge Town Chronicle

A Note from the Editor
Why a hyper-local news site matters
We can all feel overwhelmed at times by national headlines, social feeds, and newsletters. The Woodbridge Town Chronicle exists to simplify things: our focus is life in our own little town.
Each Monday, one email brings you the highlights of what’s happening locally — not every detail, but what matters, and why. By reading this weekly newsletter, we hope to help you see Woodbridge with a little more clarity, without having to chase down every agenda or budget discussion yourself.
Click through to the stories featured this week and see what we mean.
