Fairfax County has launched the Franconia-Springfield Planning Study and residents are invited to be part of shaping the area’s future!

The Franconia-Springfield Planning Study is reviewing the Comprehensive Plan for the Franconia-Springfield Transit Station Area (TSA) and Springfield Community Business Center (CBC). The Comprehensive Plan is the county’s guiding document for land use and development decisions. The study aims to advance inclusive community engagement and identify community priorities.

On April 11, 2023, the Board authorized a Comprehensive Plan study for the Springfield area to consider the recommendations from the Springfield Market Study. The adopted Springfield Plan contains a framework for revitalization, land use, transportation, parks, and other topics, however, the Plan has not been fully reviewed in more than 17 years. The study provides the community with an opportunity to help set a new vision that will guide future changes and improvements for the next 20 years or more.
