Veteran, spy, public servant: Armand Weiss of McLean dies at 89

From covert intelligence operations and governmental logistics work to authoring and editing publications and serving myriad organizations, McLean resident Armand Weiss accomplished much in his nearly 90-year-long life. Weiss, 89, who died Nov. 27 at his home after several health setbacks, was a “truly amazing, unique individual and he will be sorely missed,” said Supervisor John Foust (D-Dranesville) during the Board of Supervisors’ Dec. 1 meeting. “He was very active in the community and was a great citizen and a good friend to us all,” said Robert Jackson, president of the McLean Citizens Association, for which Weiss at one time served as second vice president.

Fairfax supervisors OK $1M to expand role of Tysons Partnership

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. “The projected trajectory for Tysons is robust, and we need to do whatever we can to ensure that it is maximized,” 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 organization’s expanded role, dubbed “Tysons 3.0,” 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.
