Rolls-Royce PLC expects to start construction in late September or early October on the first phase of its planned aircraft-engine components plant in Prince George County.

A Prince George developer is suing three members of the county’s Board of Supervisors and a former member for $150 million in federal court, claiming that his zoning request to build a hotel was denied for all the wrong reasons. Nathaniel E. Dozier Jr. claims that board member Jerry J. Skalsky violated his rights by orchestrating the denial of Dozier’s case for personal reasons. He also claims the rest of the board was complicit by allowing Skalsky to participate in the hearing, a violation of Virginia’s Conflict of Interests Act.
