The selected operator for 8508-Uncontained recently informed the County that COVID-19 has rendered their RFI proposal infeasible until such time as it is safe to gather again. Concurrently, the County identified several space needs that can be met by use of the building into the second quarter of 2021. The 8508 Steering Committee will consider future opportunities to activate the space; updates or details will be posted at https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/economic-success/activate-fairfax-rfi.
