Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• County board OKs $900,000 to plan for future Chantilly arts center (ffxnow.com) — Fairfax County supervisors have approved $900,000 to keep planning for a future arts hub in Chantilly moving forward, covering design, permitting, and bidding over the next two years. Paired with $1.3 million and site work from the developer, the project aims to deliver a county-run performance and arts center at Westfields by 2029, adding new cultural space for local residents.
• Festival blends Vietnamese tradition with community's future plans (catholicherald.com) — Parishioners from Our Lady of La Vang Mission in Chantilly recently hosted a two-day Mid-Autumn Festival near Fair Oaks Mall, drawing Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese families from across Northern Virginia. The celebration mixed traditional food, music, and children's activities with support for the mission's long-term goal of building a future church on its 33-acre Chantilly property.
• Communications Systems Engineer (dice.com) — A high-paying Communications Systems Engineer role is open right in Chantilly, supporting satellite and cybersecurity work at the National Reconnaissance Office with SAIC. The full-time position requires a TS/SCI with polygraph, frequent collaboration with government and contractors, and up to 25% travel.
