“Reston
is unique. We are a welcoming planned community that balances
development, infrastructure, and natural open spaces. Maintaining this
delicate balance has been the key objective of the Reston Citizens Association
for the past half century,” said Dennis Hays, President, RCA. “In the
coming year we expect to continue to deal with important issues like the
density cap, the preservation and expansion of open
space, and focusing the County’s attention
on quality of life matters. We believe an educated and informed community
is vital and we rely on dedicated individuals who work together and with other
organizations to help us preserve Reston as Reston. We have a number of
positions up for election this year and we always have space for volunteers on
our committees. I hope you will consider joining us by running for the
Board and/or joining one of our committees.”
