Reston 2020 Committee Launches Blog on Reston Planning Effort
We received the following news release this morning:
The Reston 2020 Committee, an open committee of Reston citizens created by the Reston Citizens Association (RCA), in partnership with Reston Association (RA) and the Association of Reston Clusters and Homeowners (ARCH), is pleased to announce the launch of its blog, Reston 2020: Citizens Shaping Reston’s Future. The blog reflects the Reston 2020 Committee’s view that Reston’s citizens ought to have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to efforts to re-think the future of Reston.
The Committee has created this blog to keep Restonians and others interested in Reston informed about what the recently launched, County-created Reston Master Plan Special Study Task Force is doing. The task force is charged with re-thinking development in Reston as reflected in the County’s current Comprehensive Plan. At present, the Task Force is beginning to look at proposed modifications of the Plan for the Dulles Corridor area. Over the next two years, it will re-evaluate planning for all of Reston, including Reston Town Center, Village Centers, and residential areas.
The intent of this blog is to provide timely accounts of schedules, agendas, and events as well as reports by Reston 2020 and other Reston civic organizations in a way that encourages citizen participation. The blog will include responsible posts and comments of all viewpoints by individuals and organizations who wish to contribute. The Committee’s belief is that a broad-based community dialogue and other participation in the county’s planning effort will lead to more informed and wiser decisions consistent with Reston’s role as a model for a 21st century planned community.
