The City is seeking responses from anyone who lives, works, recreates, dines, and visits the city to participate in the survey and provide feedback. The survey asks a number of questions about your experience of Fredericksburg, which the City will consider as they build their upcoming Comprehensive Plan.
Students—you can & should participate too! This is a 30-year plan, and many of you will be living and working here in 30 years. Please provide your feedback!

It's Throwback Thursday! Can you guess who is the staff member in the photo?
It's our very own, Mr. Bryan Godfrey.
Facts about Mr. Godfrey:
I was rejected from private school before first grade because I was deemed "uneducable" due to my low score on an entrance test, yet I now have 3 degrees.
I'm learning how to play the piano.
My main hobby is genealogy, I've traced my ancestry back to medieval times, and I've found I'm related to many interesting people.
I own thousands of books and have almost as many downloaded to my laptop.
