Bridge Replacement - Deer Management Presentation - | ABOUT GFCA Our goal is to preserve the semi-rural character of our community while addressing practical concerns like traffic, zoning, retail, schools, parks and the environment where problems arise and solutions must be found. Since Great Falls is not an incorporated municipality like the Town of Vienna, or City of Falls Church, we lack a town/city government to represent our local interests. The GFCA acts in an unofficial capacity to represent the voices of the citizens of Great Falls on these matters, and works with county, state, and national government to get things done. On Great Falls issues, no other organization has GFCA’s influence with elected leaders at the County and State level, or is as respected by them. Our charter calls for GFCA to "serve
as a community organization to promote all aspects of community
interest accruing to a common good and, in general, to preserve the
historic, low density, semi-rural character of Great Falls and its
natural resources." zMOD - Fairfax County's Zoning Ordinance Modernization Project: Public Hearings planned
