[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there federal sort of kick back monies going to counties to incentivize this reckless behavior of approving a billion pop up high density housing projects lately?  We obviously don't have the school space, recreation space, or traffic space for it.  This behavior needs to cease![/quote]

The sources of funding that I've seen for the Dominion Square affordable housing buildings off Spring Hill include (1) the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority, (2) Congress (American Rescue Plan Act of 2021), (3) Amazon (4) other commercial property developers in the area, and (5) the main sponsor, the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing, which receives funding for other sources and works with developers to take advantage of tax credits for low-income housing.

There is no doubt the coordination between county planning officials and the local school systems could be much better.  However, that doesn't absolve FCPS of its responsibility to begin planning now for the additional students who'll be coming into FCPS in a few years when construction is finished [/quote]
