Week in Fairfax: Learn about Old Town and Northfax Plans

The City of Fairfax is beginning the process of developing a new plan for Old Town Fairfax and Northfax (the area around the intersection of Chain Bridge Road and Fairfax Boulevard), so it’s holding a kickoff meeting for the public on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 7 p.m., in the Sherwood Center, 3740 Old Lee Hwy. These plans, known as Small Area Plans, will provide detailed recommendations for these areas, including the desired mix of uses, residential density, building mass, design aesthetic, street locations, transportation connections, infrastructure improvements, parking and open space.
