Victory Village – Moving Along!

On Wednesday night, March 1, the Fairfax Town Council pivoted to a new, less controversial path to getting to yes on Victory Village. Responding to overwhelming support from an overflow audience, the Council directed staff (1) to develop a new zoning district exclusively for senior housing, and (2) to process the Victory Village application in this new district. MEHC strongly supports this approach; It’s transparent and easy to understand.

Community organizing was the key to turning out supporters and decisive action by Town Council members. Congratulations to Wendi Kallins, Lisel Blash and their crew who ran an information table at Good Earth to educate residents on the benefits of Victory Village. They spear headed a letter writing campaign. The got over 250 supporting postcards signed, and held a public vigil. Their efforts packed the Town Council meeting with supporters.

Finally, to the Fairfax Town Council: Thank you, and hang in there!
