The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved subleasing the Ellmore Farmhouse in Herndon to the nonprofit ServiceSource on May 4.
The sublease will last 29 years as part of Fairfax County’s Resident Curator Program, which aims “to preserve historic properties by offering long-term leases to qualified tenants who agree to rehabilitate and maintain these historic resources in accordance with established preservation standards,” according to the county.
The decision followed an advertised public hearing on the motion that did not draw any comments from the community.
In accordance with the terms of the resident curator program, ServiceSource will rehabilitate the two-story, 3,300 square-foot house at 2739 West Ox Road while maintaining time-appropriate aspects of the property that was built in 1891.

WILLMAR, Minn. When the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in Minnesota in March, schools and families had little time to prepare a distance learning plan.
Though school districts used the summer to prepare for learning in school and at home, the situation is still difficult for immigrant parents who are still learning English. Even if they understand some English, it may not be enough to understand their children’s schoolwork.

WILLMAR Many parents will tell you that navigating distance learning for their children can be a frustrating effort.
Everyone, schools and families alike, was thrown into it with little warning or preparation in March when the pandemic first arrived in Minnesota. When the state closed school buildings and sent children home, schools and families had little time to prepare to finish the school year long distance.
