Report: Tysons growth could quadruple strain on schools

Published July 20, 2007 4:00am ET



Public services like schools and police would need to double or quadruple their capacity to handle the demands created by the growth plans being considered for Tysons Corner, according to a recent county report.

According to the most recent estimates, 16,112 people live in Tysons and 106,871 people work in the area. Under the most expansive of the three growth scenarios suggested by the Tysons Task Force, 89,975 people would live in the urban center and 246,695 people would work there. That plan would almost quadruple school enrollment in the area and more than double the daily calls to police, among other impacts, the report said.
