Fairfax County supervisors on Dec. 1 agreed to provide $1 million to help the Tysons Partnership expand its role in transforming Tysons from a largely commercial center to a vibrant, mixed-use community.
âThe projected trajectory for Tysons is robust, and we need to do whatever we can to ensure that it is maximized,â said Supervisor Dalia Palchik (D-Providence).
To move ahead toward the next generation of Tysons, the Tysons Partnership is poised to expand and enhance its role in research, planning, economic development, transportation, mobility, place-making and activation, communication and place-branding, she said.
The organizationâs expanded role, dubbed âTysons 3.0,â has prompted conversations about governance, a sustainable funding stream and metrics to measure progress. Officials may be able to apply to Tysons lessons learned from economic-development models being used in Rosslyn and National Landing.
