The task force eliminated, after considerable debate and input from a public forum, the Government Center site and the southern Dulles site. At the public forum there was considerable opposition to the Government Center site but no support. The task force thought that the southern Dulles site was closer to residences and further from the Toll Road than the northern site, and so removed it from further consideration.
If Fairfax County receives a franchise, the county will conduct more detailed engineering, transportation and economic studies to further refine the pros and cons of each site. The task force will then be called back to make a final decision on a site. The task force will also propose zoning and planning amendments for Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
Jeffrey M. Parnes
