Today I had the opportunity to play pickleball! The sport continues to gain popularity throughout the country and within our County, so I was happy to join some local members of the pickleball community to learn about the sport and discuss ways we can grow the number of pickleball courts in the County.
As globally we face the increasing impacts of climate change, Fairfax County needs to be ready. I’m proud of the work that our County staff and community stakeholders have put into developing a draft “Resilient Fairfax” plan. Resilient Fairfax is action-oriented, finding strategies to be resilient to extreme heat, severe storms, and flooding. The draft plan is still available for public comment until June 15.
