Dear Friends,

This week’s blog post will be short and sweet. With the budget behind us, the high school and economic development projects will be our main focus for the next few weeks and the primary topic in our upcoming meetings. You can continue to offer public comment at our meetings and/or email us your questions and comments on the projects. Read for on the links to the latest…

My last set of office hours this spring will be Monday, May 20 at 9 am, Bakeshop Falls Church. Come chat and enjoy a cup of coffee and a treat at our newest cafe. (Stay tuned for summer office hours, once I sort out my kids’ summer schedules.)

Best,
Letty
