Fairfax County officials are eyeing Annandale — one of the county’s many nebulous clusters of traffic, homes and strip malls — as their next target for revitalization.

The area, which has no official borders and little cohesive identity, will join the likes of Springfield and Bailey’s Crossroads as the next subject of a broad land-use study by the Urban Land Institute. Officials hope the study will provide a blueprint for redevelopment that would distinguish Annandale from other areas of the county.
