Initial Community Dialogues

The task force completed the initial community outreach process during January and February 2006. The task force talked with 424 people, via 20 dialogues and on-line comments, who identified a wide variety of important community values, issues and concerns regarding Tysons’ future. These values included creating an increased sense of place in Tysons Corner, improving traffic conditions, protecting surrounding communities, increasing residential options, and managing growth, among others.

The dialogues were organized around different segments of the Tysons community to capture the full range of voices from the residential, business, development and non-profit sectors. On March 13, 2006, the results of the dialogues were provided to the task force in the report entitled Initial Community Outreach Findings, which is separated into four sections below.
