Lee District Supervisor to Host Fairfax County Budget Q and A

Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay, Lee District School Board Representative Tammy Kaufax, and county and school budget staff will host a presentation and Q and A session on the proposed Fairfax County budget Wednesday night. 

"Over the past decade we’ve worked hard at diversifying our economy but between 10 and 20 percent of our local economy is related to defense or federal contracting to the tune of about $25 billion," McKay said in an email sent to constituents on Monday. "With a substantial amount of the county’s workforce involved in some way with what happens on the federal side, that’s a lot of potential drop in retail sales, car purchases, home sales, and the like."

The budget presentation and Q and A will take place from 7 - 9 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13, in the Community Room at the Franconia Governmental Center, located at 6121 Franconia Rd.
