Development Issues Are Heating Up Across Fairfax County

January 21st, 2024

Casino Updates: We have been calling attention to plans for a casino in Fairfax County, and now reports are out that a location in Tysons has been identified. Reston residents were vocal early in their opposition (Norestoncasino.org), and were followed by the Vienna Town Council, which was unanimous in rejecting the idea. Most recently, the McLean Citizens Association released a statement expressing their negative views as well, but none of this has deterred Senator Dave Marsden (D-Fairfax) from filing a bill to allow a referendum vote on a casino.

FFX NOW reported on 1/18 that a former car dealership on Rte. 7 in Tysons is a possible location, https://www.ffxnow.com/2024/01/18/new-fairfax-county-casino-push-targets-abandoned-tysons-auto-dealership/

Housing Supply & Zoning: The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors is concerned about the lack of available and affordable housing across Fairfax County, and is considering a variety of approaches to address the concerns. FFX NOW gives an in depth review here, https://www.ffxnow.com/2024/01/17/to-increase-housing-fairfax-county-pursues-alternatives-to-ending-single-family-only-zoning/
