Greater Washington 2050 Compact

In April 2010, the Mayor and City Council signed a resolution endorsing the voluntary Greater Washington 2050 Compact. The City of Fairfax is committed to following the principles and goals set within Region Forward, a regional vision for a more accessible, sustainable, prosperous, and livable metropolitan Washington, developed by the Greater Washington Coalition. The plan includes specific goals and targets to guide future decisions and to measure progress towards meeting those goals.
