[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't understand is why FCC wants to add a grade and so greatly expand Mt. Daniel in Fairfax.  Fairfax just gave over 90 acres to FCC as part of the water deal (as an aside, our water rates are going to be lowered now that we are served by the county rather than the city!).  This land is right next to the middle school and high school.  Why not build schools there instead of greatly expanding in a residential area?  I suspect that they want to use all of that for commercial development but it seems disingenuous to state that they have no other choices as to where to expand.[/quote]

FCC is a small jurisdiction with overhead costs and high taxes.  Expanding Mt. Daniel is less expensive than other options in FCC, and some FCC taxpayers complained about the lower costs associated with even a renovation.

To speak to a PP's comment, the planning staff in Fairfax support the FCCPS application.  It's just people who live in the neighborhood who are opposed to the increased congestion, but why should their views matter if FCCPS has hired expensive "experts" to grease the wheels?  [/quote]

People in every neighborhood in America are always vehemently opposed to change. NIMBY is almost always ignored because all they care about is their own self interest. [/quote]
