Fairfax County launched community outreach for Plan Forward in 2024 as a comprehensive initiative to update its 1990 Policy Plan, guiding land use and development decisions. Topics like expanding economic opportunities, providing access to public facilities and convenient modes of transportation, and creating a pleasing and sustainable environment to live and work in are all addressed within the Policy Plan. Anticipated to conclude by the end of 2025, Plan Forward brings an important opportunity to ensure updated Comprehensive Plan policies enhance the quality of life for our residents.
