Proposed EMS Billing Program
Prince William County has grown tremendously over the decades and that growth has placed additional service delivery demands on our system. The new economic reality that Prince William County, our region, state, and the entire nation now find themselves operating in requires us to evaluate every possible option for stabilizing revenue, while considering the amount of tax burden we place on our citizens. As a way of augmenting the funding needed to deliver EMS to its citizens, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors has directed the Department of Fire & Rescue to study how they can diversify the revenue generation and examine instituting an EMS billing program.

Healthy lawns and healthy waters
Knowing that healthy lawns contribute to healthy waterways, Prince William County developed the Great Scapes program to help homeowners better manage their lawns. In an effort to emphasize the program's focus of turf rather than landscapes as a whole, Great Scapes is now the BEST Lawns program. The program's goal is to help homeowners Build Environmentally Sustainable Turf. Though the name has changed, the program is still based on years of Virginia Tech research on turf in northern Virginia region.
