Falls Church H.S Campus Community Forum

From The City of Falls Church Virginia: Community members are encouraged to attend a meeting where City officials will provide updates on the high school and middle school campus project. Attendees can ask questions and provide input on the school options (renovation, new construction, or a phased approach) and potential economic development.The meeting will also serve as the Planning Opportunity Area (POA) Small Area Plan kick-off from the City's Planning division. The plan, once developed, will provide a vision and guide for reinvestment and redevelopment of the 34 acre site on which the high school and middle school sit. This vision will include expectations for an expanded middle school, a renovated or redeveloped high school, and potential commercial development that will provide long-term financial support. Other facets of the plan could include a potential partnership with University of Virginia and Virginia Tech, which share a satellite campus adjacent to the public school site, and potential strategies like special tax districts and a mix of public and private investments.Event Details
