What We're Watching in Arlington County:
Arlington has a lot of new developments and planning processes happening, but here are the ones that we are following. Reach out if you would like to support anything on this list, or let us know about something we should add.
BARCROFT LAND USE PLAN
In 2021, Arlington County took out a $150 million loan to help a developer purchase the 1,300-unit property of Barcroft, which is comprised of market-rate affordable garden-style apartments. The developer, Jair Lynch, will preserve all of the existing units as Committed Affordable Housing. Now they are planning the additional development that can happen on the property, which could include significant market-rate apartments. Stay tuned for Commission discussions and County Board action in June and July.
Recurring
Each Monday, a member of the Arlington County Board holds a virtual session to meet one-on-one (or in small groups) with constituents. Each Virtual Open Door Monday runs from 7-9 pm, but you do not have to stay for the entire time.
