Group blasts Tysons task force for ignoring public input

Published



A group that fought unsuccessfully against a massive development at the Vienna Metro station last year is now turning its attention to the Tysons Land Use Task Force. FairGrowth says the county-appointed panel has curtailed public input in favor of handing down “preconceived notions” of development to the community.

The task force was convened in 2005 by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to coordinate how, when and where new development should be allowed in the path of a new Metrorail line through Tysons. Its recommendations will likely play a large part in what Tysons Corner looks like in the coming decades.
