Proposed Robert E. Simon Recreation Center

ARCH
Forum - July 7
ARCH
will cosponsor a forum with WATCH (the Working Alliance of Town Center
Homeowners) at the Jo Anne Rose Gallery at Lake Anne, on 7 July at 7 PM.
The
forum will provide ARCH and WATCH members, and the community at large,
with an opportunity to obtain information and ask questions about
the proposed indoor recreation facility's funding, scope and size, location, and referenda
requirements.
|
The
Reston Association's (RA) and Reston Community Center's (RCC) have
established a joint initiative to build and fund an up to a $100 Million
dollar/170,000 square/foot Indoor Recreation Center that would
include an indoor olympic sized swimming pool, up to 8 tennis courts,
gym, fitness facilities and parking structure.
As
residents of Small Tax District 5, this initiative will impact every home/property
owner and business owner within Reston. Each of us pay an annual
Fairfax County Tax to support the Reston Community Center. The
proposal, the location for which is suggested to replace the ball
diamonds and open space at Brown's Chapel, could also involve conveying
Reston Association Member land to RCC, and-- as you are aware-- each
homeowner pays an annual assessment to RA.
 Background
info about the proposed indoor recreation facility is
available from the following organizations:

RA/RCC info on the project see respective web pages at
