Today is the first day of early voting! Remember Virginia has no excuse early voting, so you can stop into City Hall anytime during the week (weekend early voting begins in late October).
It’s been a packed week! Last weekend was the embodiment of Falls Church: our “small town vibe” paired with big city conveniences, community, culture, history, and restaurants to enjoy. And a shout-out to the Pearson Square neighbors – thank you for the warm welcome and great discussion at my visit this week. As I make my way to more multifamily buildings, I’m also happy to join you at your next HOA, scout meeting, or neighborhood gathering as well – just reach out.
Read on for the latest on new business openings, updates on housing and accessory dwellings, and pedestrian safety and walkability work. Because there is much to share, this week’s update will be broad vs deep, and as always, I link to staff reports so you can get accurate information on the topics that interest you.
