MEETING: County Meeting on Crescent's Future Oct. 1, Reston Patch, September 17, 2012

What does the future hold for 16-acre apartment complex near Lake Anne Plaza?

By Karen Goff

Hunter Mill Supervisor Cathy Hudgins will host a community meeting Oct. 1 about proposals Fairfax County has received for future development at Crescent Apartments. . . .

Meeting time is 7 p.m. at Reston Community Center Lake Anne.

Crescent is a 1960s-era, 16-acre, 180-unit development across the street from Lake Anne Plaza.

The county guidelines to those submitting a proposal (to redevelop the apartments):

• Create a high quality development that complements the existing Lake Anne Community 
• Ensure diverse housing options exist in Lake Anne including workforce, senior and affordable housing 
• Enhance pedestrian, and bicycle connections throughout the Lake Anne area 
• Increase the viability of the Lake Anne Village Center by adding new residents

The redevelopment of the complex, which was acquired by the county in 2006 as part of an effort to add affordable housing units, is part of ongoing discussions for the redevelopment near Lake Anne. . . .
