Kudos are in order for the citizens and business owners of the Falls Church Housing Corporation and the Falls Church Chamber of Commerce for bringing a strong message to Falls Church City officials Monday, urging full speed ahead on development of Atlantic Realty’s plans for a City Center south of West Broad Street. They came out in force to pipe up at a special public hearing before the F.C. City Council and Planning Commission. A number of those in favor of the project were citizens with residences immediately adjacent the site, too, countering a predictable, if small, turnout of “not in my backyard” nay-sayers with what one described as her and her husband’s more welcoming attitude of “Yes, Next to Our Front Porch.”
