TextThe Braddock Beacon: July 2010
Board of Supervisors Pass New Rules on Tysons, but Questions
Remain
During its regularly scheduled June 22nd meeting, the Board of
Supervisors approved a significant Comprehensive Plan Amendment designed
to spur the redevelopment of Tysons Corner. I voted for the plan, and
while I am an optimist, I expressed my significant concern that it was
too cautious and timid, and did not support the broad economic
development objectives of the Tysons Task Force.
