BCRC: A Future of Growth
COMMUNITY
Calendar
By Frank Sellers
BCRC President
Although it is already the area’s most
prominent
business
and
community
improvement organization, BCRC needs to
grow. We have a great deal to take pride in at
Baileys Crossroads. Baileys Crossroads is an
International Crossroads for all of Northern
Virginia, with the biggest cultural diversity and
one of the most vibrant economies of any
region of the area. The successful business
owners in our restaurants and shops represent
Central Asia, the Far East, the Middle East,
Africa, Europe, South America, Central
America, and North American business
success. New development is just around
the corner in Baileys Crossroads.
Attractive stores and public areas are on
the way, designed to give people who live
and work here options for shopping and
dining that don’t require a trip to Tyson’s
Corner. Consider investing your time and
energy in making this community The
Place for dining, shopping, and business.
NEWS WATCH
On Thursday, Aug 30, the new
Chipotle
at
Seven

Shopping Center will be opening

Weissberg Corporation
Project
Moving Forward
The new mixed-use Weissberg
Corporation project in the SE Quadrant
On Columbia Pike continues to move
through the Fairfax County process.
August 30th, 2007
BCRC Community Maps
The latest step was the posting for public view of the plans by Weissberg to build a
new East County office building for the county. The building would be the office part of the
planned office-retail-residential complex. The public-private partnership for the office
building is designed to result in a new building for the county in less time and for less cost
than a county construction project.
The Fairfax County government is planning two more regional government buildings after
the East Center in Baileys Crossroads and the earlier South County center on Route One.
The next step for the Weissberg project is to win Fairfax County Planning and Zoning
Department approval.
The Fairfax County Solid Waste
Management Program will host a

Why Your Participation is Essential
¿Por Que Su Participación es Esencial?
1. Long-term change requires “champions” who will advocate for action.
2. Short-term actions can “get the ball rolling” for longer-term change.
3. A single advocacy group is more effective than multiple groups:
- A united community action achieves change
- Resources can be pooled and shared
- A single coalition can have more political clout to get things done
- Allows you to play a role in shaping your future!
1. Cambios a largo plazo requieren de “campeones” que abogarán por la acción
2. Las acciones a corto plazo pueden “iniciar el proceso” para un cambio a largo plazo
3. Un solo grupo de abogacía es más efectivo que muchos grupos abogando:
- Una acción de comunidad unida logra el cambio
- Los recursos pueden ser de uso común y ser compartidos
- Una sola coalición puede tener más poder político para lograr cosas le permite a usted
- ¡Le permite jugar un rol para definir su futuro!
