Quotes

RA Environmental Advisory Committee has recommended to the board of directors that they "ensure that any future development that takes place at Baron Cameron Park results in a positive addition to the community with no negative impact on neighboring Reston Association property. "
"It has been an incredible journey to be involved every step of the way in the development of the new middle school, from watching the building slowly rise from the ground to choosing the name of the school" said Nathan Kim, president of the South County Middle School Student Government Association, at the dedication ceremony in the school gymnasium
...the study helped us develop a program, and from the program we developed a project cost and from that we developed a financial model," he said. "From there we went to what does the bottom line look like for a facility based on potential revenues, which is tied to operating and personnel expenses."
"It starts with demographics," said Levin. "Would people participate and would they participate in a public or private facility?"
