Redistricting Committee's Work Continues With Focus On Fairfax County District Names

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA — Even after the Board of Supervisors approved a new map of local elections districts, the work of Fairfax County's Redistricting Advisory Committee isn't done.

When the board approved the new map of Board of Supervisors and School Board districts, the committee's work was extended to evaluate names of the districts. The committee's next meeting on Tuesday night will be to discuss recommendations on which districts to rename. The districts being considered are Mason, Mount Vernon, Lee, Sully and Springfield.

The committee is asked to make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors by March 1. New names will not be recommended, as the committee will only recommend which districts should be renamed.

Tuesday's meeting will be split into three work groups to evaluate the district names. One group will be focused on the Mason and Mount Vernon Districts, a second will be focused on the Lee and Sully Districts, and a third will be focused on the Springfield District.

The public is invited to join the Tuesday meeting but will need to decide which work group to attend. Join the meeting through Microsoft Teams or by phone at 571-429-5982 with passcode 7022588#.

The committee meets each week on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the last meeting on March 1.
