[Imports-us] Importing data for Prince William County, VA

I am working on a project that wishes to tentatively use OSM data from 
Quantico and possibly surrounding areas. Unfortunately, OSM is somewhat 
lacking in this area, especially within Quantico itself.

I would like to import data from information provided by the county¹. To 
start with, I would like to use the country-provided roads to improve 
road shapes and fill in missing roads (for now, manually, probably using 
Merkaartor, and checked against available aerial imagery). Eventually, I 
want to add buildings and maybe anything else that seems useful.

Being data generated by an agency of the US government, the source data 
is Public Domain (verified via the contact information provided on the 
site).
