Special County Planning Meetings Announced – New Task Force Being Created

What will the Reston community be like in 45 years?  Will the community be able to retain its amenities and quality of life?  What will traffic be like? Where will the future businesses, homes and roadways be located?
Will the open spaces remain?

The answer to those questions begin on December 1, 2009.

With the coming of metro, there’s a special county planning process that will affect the way that Reston community will develop over the next 30 to 40 years.

Because you care about our community, you will want to make the time to attend two important meetings, hosted by Fairfax County Supervisor Catherine Hudgins and the county department of planning and zoning.
