Fairfax Approves Framework for Reston Town Center North Redevelopment

Fairfax County supervisors on Sept. 15 approved the development framework for 46.6-acre Reston Town Center North, clearing the way for mixed-use redevelopment with Inova Health.

Plans outline about 1,000 housing units plus retail and office space, a central park, a new recreation center, a replacement Reston Regional Library, and a new Embry Rucker Community Shelter with supportive housing. Individual blocks still face future reviews and public input.

The vote was 8-0. Chair Jeff McKay and Dranesville Supervisor Jimmy Bierman recused themselves because they serve on Inova advisory boards. Hunter Mill Supervisor Walter Alcorn called it a big step and urged the county not to lose momentum.

Funded library and shelter replacements plus an internal road network and central park are expected among the first phases. The site sits about a mile from Reston Town Center Metro and two miles from Wiehle-Reston East.
