Do you want to learn more about Placemaking in Tysons? Make sure you tune in to today's webinar!

On Wednesday, June 26th, from noon to 1:00 p.m., we will be hosting a webinar to unveil our Placemaking Vision + Design Framework. You may be asking, what is placemaking? That's a great question. Placemaking is the practice of creating a sense of place and identity in a community through activating and transforming its public spaces.

Since the launch of the TCA’s strategic plan, “Connecting Tysons: A Collective Strategic Plan,” in 2023, we’ve been working with the Placemaking Stakeholder Group and community to develop the Placemaking Vision + Design Framework. The plan will guide the TCA’s efforts as it works with partners to create spaces that transform Tysons into a vibrant and inclusive urban center, and an attractive place to live, work, and play. We hope you will join us as we lay out our placemaking vision for Tysons!
