This Week in Woodbridge

It’s been a busy week in Woodbridge — and the coming days promise more of the same, with the TPZ hearing continued Tuesday evening and early voting hours now underway at the Town Library.

Along with the daily rhythms of life in our small town, there also comes a time to step back and attend to family matters. My father taught me the importance of taking on roles of responsibility, contributing to the fabric of the community, and balancing these with devotion to family. So I’ll pause later this week to honor his memory — and then be right back in your inbox next week.
