In a letter sent April 8, GFCA President Eric Knudsen provided reactions to the proposed budget being considered by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.  Ralph Apton, chair of GFCA's Long Range Planning committee, presented oral comments at the BOS Budget public hearing on April 8. 

GFCA is requesting a list of budget changes, enhancements, and assurances relating to a list of local priorities such as the Grange and Old Forestville School (as a community center for Great Falls), parks and library funding, transportation (especially Rt 7 widening), Trails enrichment, and the Resident Curatorship program essential to protect and preserve historic structures like the Turner Farmhouse.
