If you weren't able to make it to our annual Pimmit Hills Day, you missed a great time. The weather was perfect, there were booths, food and games, and McGruff the Crime Dog along with our local McLean police stopped by to visit. Click here to see photos from the event.

Thank you to organizers Sarah Rock (PHCA) and Marie Davis (Tysons Lions Club) for all their work on the day and also a huge thanks to those who volunteered to help out.

The County has planned nine public meetings starting September 24 through October 11 to discuss and get citizen input. There is also a survey to gather input about what the county should do to resolve the issue.

There are numerous sources of funding that could be used to fund transportation including a sales tax on service, an income tax increase, a meals tax and more. For a longer list of funding sources see: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/cdot/funding/

From Sarah Rock, PHCA Three-Year Director:

I'd like to invite you to join us at Pimmit Hills Day on September 22 at Olney Park. This year we've arranged for a moonbounce for the kids and McGruff the Crime Dog will stop by as well. The Lions Club will also be there cooking up hamburgers and hot dogs.

We still need some extra hands to make the day run smoothly. If you can spare 30 minutes, we need help with the cake walk, the moonbounce and the kids' games.

If you can help, contact me or sign up here.

Thanks so much for helping make Pimmit Hills a great neighborhood!

Regards,
Sarah Rock

Status of Pimmit Barn Issues
8-16-12

Dear Pimmit Hills Resident:

I am writing to provide the status of the options that are being considered for the Pimmit Barn.

By way of background, in 2011, I was advised that the Park Authority had proposed to sell the barn property. Under an agreement with the County, the Park Authority is required to offer its property to County agencies before disposing of the property.

When that offer was made, the Community Services Board (“CSB”) advised the Park Authority that the CSB wanted the property to develop as a group residential home for no more than six individuals with intellectual disabilities.
