Our goal is to architect a Master Plan for Great Falls. How will we get from our reality today (As Is) to our vision for our community in the year 2020 or beyond (To Be)? Our vision generally aligns with the Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan. However, sometimes there are disconnects between the Comprehensive Plan and the goals mapped out by other organizations and public authorities (such as Zoning, VDOT, etc.). We examine these disconnects.
In addition to the regulations and functional uses of land in Great Falls, there is a cultural component of life in Great Falls that was revealed in the 2020 Vision Survey. Under GFCA's charter to "promote all aspects of community interest accruing to a common good" we may examine other aspects of our community that are pivotal to the future we all envision.
