When did McLean become a town??? When did Wexton or Connolly sign off on this?

Why would your Congressperson sign off on making a town? Does anyone not understand Civics

NP. Why are you attacking people on here?

We vote on a a board and pay assessments to RA, but it in charge of pools, paths the lake etc. as well as standards dealing with design. Developemntproposals go through the fairfax county planning commisssion and somewhat through RA, which acts as a lobbying arm..

There is no mayor or council. It is under the jurisdiction of fairfax county board of supervisors, Hunter Mill District.

Why are you spreading lies, Reston is a town. I know because I voted for Mayor last election in 2023

You can't. There was a law in the 60s that said no new incorporations once a county uses urban county executive form of government. You are stuck with the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

You can look up more information online.

Why isn't Great Falls a town? Seems like it would benefit from that

Falls Church and Fairfax are cities.

Everything else is unincorporated (i.e. neither a town nor a city), and is ran by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

This is correct. McLean has a civic association where you pay extra but it’s not a town. Cities are completely separate from counties in VA. No overlap at all unless one pays the other for services.

Towns are parts of counties. Towns operate some services like zoning and have additional police, but do not have independent schools from the county .

This is different from how things work in Maryland.

Not true at all, Clifton ceased being a town in 1977
