In July 2017, the County issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for redevelopment concepts for Blocks 7 & 8 located south of Bowman Towne Drive. The RFP was issued to development teams that pre-qualified during the first phase of the RFP.  Reston Civic Core, LLC submitted a proposal on October 27, 2017. The proposal was reviewed by a selection advisory committee consisting of Reston citizens and senior County staff from multiple agencies.  Due to the additional scope offered in excess of the RFP scope and the substantial financial commitment required of the County, the advisory committee recommended rejection of the Reston Civic Core proposal.  On May 1, 2018, the Board of Supervisors concurred with the recommendation to reject the proposal.  Future planning and procurement options are under evaluation for the public facility improvements in the Reston Town Center North redevelopment area.
