Subject to Adjustment
This month’s meeting will feature Marc McCauley, Director of Real Estate Development, Arlington Economic Development (AED) with an update on retail spaces in our neighborhood, regular business, a meeting schedule change for the spring, and discussions of various ongoing area developments.
Featured Topic
BVSCA Retail Development Update from Arlington Economic Development
Marc McCauley, Director of Real Estate Development, Arlington Economic Development (AED), will update us on retail development in our area, office vacancy issues, any updates to the current retail plan, as well as other related issues. This was spurred by concerns about the County approving retail equivalent where there is supposed to be retail across several developments in our neighborhood.
