The Laurel Hill Project Advisory Citizens Oversight Committee was established by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to monitor the development of the Reformatory and Penitentiary areas. The Laurel Hill Project Advisory Committee continues the work begun by the Laurel Hill Adaptive Reuse Citizen Advisory Task Force. The goal of the Committee is to ensure that the development process is objective and transparent to all County stakeholders, including the Board of Supervisors, citizens and development partners and that it is implemented in accordance with all relevant documents, including the Memorandum of Agreement, the County Comprehensive Plan and the final Laurel Hill recommendations approved by the Board of Supervisors.
