Town Hall Meeting on County Budget
Dranesville Supervisor John Foust has scheduled three town hall meetings in March and April to give Dranesville residents an opportunity to learn about and discuss the proposed Fiscal Year 2013 (FY2014) Budget for Fairfax County. County management and budget staff will be present to make a summary presentation of the budget and answer questions. The Herndon session is scheduled for Monday, April 3, at 7 p.m. at the Herndon Town Council Chambers, 765 Lynn St., Herndon.

AT&T to Install New Cable Lines
Beginning in mid-March and concluding in December, AT&T will install new cable service lines along Dranesville Road, Madison Street and Van Buren Street. Minimal disruption to residents and businesses is anticipated; the contractor will provide advance notice to those potentially affected by construction activities and will keep residents and businesses informed as the work approaches their neighborhoods.
To minimize disruption, the majority of the work will be performed by underground boring behind existing sidewalks and in easements. All disturbed property will be restored to its original condition. Contractors will be working from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. off the roadway and, when necessary, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. within the roadway. Traffic will be controlled as needed.
The Public Works Projects page of the town’s website, www.herndon-va.gov, will be updated throughout the life of the project as warranted. Residents and business owners may contact Public Works at 703-435-6860 or public.works@herndon-va.gov.
