Land for Fairfax bus lot may be contaminated

Fairfax City officials will vote Tuesday on whether to spend nearly $4 million for a tract of land that “may still be contaminated” by one of the worst oil spills in Northern Virginia history.

The city council plans to build a $1.6 million parking lot for at least 50 school buses on the 2.2-acre site, a proposal that angered residents in surrounding neighborhoods and had the current owner of the land questioning whether the site is suitable for school buses.
