Revitalization Project Halted

Artist rendering of village center.
|
The Lake Anne revitalization project's main developer, Lake Anne Development Partners (LADP), said last week that its public-private partnership with Fairfax County to redevelop the Crescent Apartments and the Lake Anne Village Center is no longer considered economically viable.
Therefore, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and LADP are in the process of terminating their current contract.
The plan to renovate the apartments and the commercial plaza area at Lake Anne was going to be done in phases, taking more than a decade to complete. After years of debate and discussion, the plan was approved in early 2015, but the work never began. Click here to read more.
