Law Enforcement Building Groundbreaking is November 16
The public is invited to join County officials, Sheriff Danny Diggs and other dignitaries at the groundbreaking for the York County Law Enforcement Building – future home of the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office. The ceremony begins at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, November 16, at 103 Service Drive (just behind our Public Works complex). When completed, the 50,000 square-foot building will include a community room along with offices and training space for the Sheriff’s Office.

Shop for Antiques, Collectibles and Upcycled Items Tomorrow at the MAC
You don’t want to miss the County’s annual Vintage Market from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow (11/6) at the McReynolds Athletic Complex (412 Sports Way, off Route 17). If you like restored old furniture, shopping for vintage clothing and jewelry, or filling your home with one-of-a-kind handcrafted pieces, then this is the event for you! It’s also a great place to find unique gifts for friends and family. To add to the fun, Phil Poteat will be performing and local food vendors will line up with a variety of tasty treats. The Yorktown Trolley makes regular stops from the parking areas to the market site. Check out scenes from prior Vintage Markets in this video produced by WYCG-TV.
