Explanation
(This amendment provides $15,000 the second year from the general fund for the Southeast Fairfax Development Corporation (SFDC) in Northern Virginia. The requested funding would be used to improve linkages between economic development initiatives and historic tourism for the historic Route 1 Richmond Highway Corridor from the Beltway to Ft. Belvoir. This area is home to a rich array of historic sites and cultural resources, perhaps the most significant cluster in Northern Virginia including Mt Vernon, Woodlawn Estate and Gristmill Distillery, Gunston Hall, the U.S. Army Museum, and the U.S. Marine's Museum. This amendment would allow SFDC to focus a marketing program for residents and visitors. The area is in need of revitalization, and indeed has the potential to thrive once the BRAC movements to Ft. Belvoir are in place. The SFDC has been charged with putting in place the conditions to foster economic development and revitalization, namely, identifying parcels suitable for development and redevelopment, attracting and retaining businesses, marketing the corridor, and improving the image of this critical 7-mile connection between Ft. Belvoir and Alexandria City.)
