Key studies unfinished as Tysons task force wraps up

Two studies integral to the planning of Tysons Corner’s overhaul aren’t scheduled to be complete until just days before a task force offers its vision of the area’s future next month. A third won’t be finished for months afterward.

The Tysons Land Use Task Force, a group of residents, developers, activists and planners charged with mapping out the redevelopment of Fairfax County’s “downtown,” faces a swiftly approaching deadline of Sept. 22 to deliver its recommendations to the county Board of Supervisors. That date will be the first step in a long pipeline of planning and approval by county officials.
