The Fairfax County Federation of Citizens Associations (“The Fairfax Federation”) recently completed its annual election of officers, selecting the leadership team that will guide the organization for the upcoming fiscal year (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). The election took place during the Federation’s May membership meeting, where eligible member associations voted for the new officers.

Public Hearing on Willard Sherwood Sept 30th – Op-Ed by Katy Johnson (Fairfax City Resident)

Public Hearing on Willard Sherwood Sept 30th.   City of Fairfax needs to live within its means.  The Willard Sherwood will cause 20 years of big debt! This single project will add at least $8.1M to our operating budget over the next two decades. Each penny on the tax rate generates about $835,000 – this is a 9.7-cent increase for the Willard Sherwood.  Our portion for the base building alone is right around $52M, plus an additional $3M for underground parking for a grand total of: $54,930,000.  There is also an additional $4M Performing Arts Option.
