Letter: Supervisor Hudgins to Hunter Mill District, May 25, 2010

Dear Hunter Mill Friends,

Today's meeting marked some notable accomplishments by our citizens and County staff. We recognized some of our outstanding high school athletes in gymnastics and swim and dive for winning their state titles. We thanked both individuals and organizations for their many years of service to the County. And, we recognized our County staff whose swift actions saved the life of a 5 year old.

On the business end, we adopted water systems principals recommended by the Consumer Protection Commission, and authorized a 2010 Transportation Bond Referendum which will be on the ballot in the fall elections.

The Board also approved the rezoning for Comstock Reston Station Holdings which permits transit-oriented development near the Wiehle Avenue Station. The project will contain; a public plaza that will welcome Metro riders; 20% of the residential units will serve workforce; Reston Association will have new members from these residents; and proffers for parks and schools. Office buildings will be LEED certified. The Comstock proposal is not a perfect plan but we are unable to go back to the drawing board if we hope to meet deadlines for the coming of rail. This one project can't solve all our transportation problems in the area, but you have my commitment I'll continue pressing for solutions as we move forward. (Emphasis added.)


Cathy Hudgins
