We need your help in shaping the future of the Government Center campus as part of the Government Center Visioning Project, an update to the original 1987 master plan.

Located in the heart of the Fairfax Center Area, the Government Center campus plays a key role in an area envisioned as a vibrant, mixed-use community where people can live, work and play. This update offers an opportunity to reimagine how the campus can provide efficient, equitable access to government services and community programs; demonstrate environmental leadership and sustainable design; and advance the goals outlined in the Countywide Strategic Plan.

Our planning team will share some ideas for how the campus could repurpose its underused surface parking areas over the next decades and welcomes your feedback:

  • Join the in-person open house on Monday, Oct. 13, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., in Conference Rooms 4/5 at the Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax. Short presentations will be given on the hour.
  • Join the virtual session on Tuesday, Oct. 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. on Zoom or by phone at (305) 224-1968. Zoom Meeting ID: 874 8387 5741 | Passcode: 108397 [Join meeting]
  • Please send any comments to ffx-center-area-study@publicinput.com if you’re unable to attend or prefer to submit your ideas in writing. Alternatively, please call 703-324-1380 to speak with county planning staff.

The Government Center Visioning project is part of a larger Fairfax Center Area planning study (Plan Amendment 2013-III-FC1(c)) which is considering land use changes to the broader area. Your input, along with staff analysis, will help us create a vibrant, accessible and sustainable campus that continues to serve as the seat of local government for decades to come.
