Rebranded as 'Potomac Banks,' the southeastern portion of Fairfax is set for a transformation. Officials hope to add as many as 10,000 new homes by 2030, with new bus rapid transit lanes on an expanded Richmond Highway.
— the county’s nonprofit tourism arm — will sell 90-day passes that offer a discount to the area’s historic sites and museums., George Mason’s Gunston Hall and Woodlawn Estate, once owned by Washington’s nephew and step-granddaughter. The Woodlawn museum also hosts Pope-Leighey House, designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Threading together those sites under one campaign “is not just important for attracting tourism to Fairfax County,” said Jeffrey C. McKay , chair of the county’s board. “It’s important also to the people who live in Fairfax County and live in this region because, tragically, too many people who have these assets in their backyard don’t even realize that they have these.”The revitalization effort has, for the most part, received broad support from local community organizations.
