Today's riddle: What gets bigger the more you take away? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Supervisors approve Comp Plan amendment for new housing on Gallows Road (annandaletoday.com) — New housing is coming near Annandale after supervisors approved a Comprehensive Plan amendment allowing higher density for 32 single-family homes on Gallows Road across from Woodburn Elementary. Neighbors raised concerns about traffic, flooding, and parking, but officials favored this scaled‑back plan over earlier, denser proposals, with rezoning details to be debated later this fall.
• People and Places - Week of August 28. 2026 (fairfaxtimes.com) — An Annandale resident, EMT student Megan Le, has earned a $2,500 Claude Moore Opportunities scholarship to help her complete certification at Northern Virginia Community College and pursue a healthcare career. The same roundup highlights new Fairfax County human services leadership, pedestrian safety upgrades, free tree giveaways, and other education and arts recognitions that may benefit or interest Annandale-area residents.
• Public Safety - Week of August 28, 2026 (fairfaxtimes.com) — Police are asking Annandale residents for tips after a 4 a.m. burglary at the Paisano's Pizza on Little River Turnpike, believed linked to a similar break‑in in Springfield. The broader public-safety roundup also covers major arrests, traffic enforcement, a large ICE operation, and counterfeit cigarette seizures, reflecting ongoing enforcement activity around Fairfax County.
