[MNCA-Notices] 12 Question Survey for the NEW LORTON COMMUNITY CENTER



Please take the time to fill out the survey as to what YOU would like to see in the development of the new Lorton Community Center! We are meeting as a Visionary Steering Committee to put forth ideas from the community. Your input is critical to make it a success! 
 
LORTON COMMUNITY CENTER SURVEY

In November 2016, Fairfax County voters approved the Human Services and Community Development Bond Referendum which provided funding for the construction of the Lorton Community Center. The facility will serve as new location for LCAC and the Lorton Senior Center as well as providing a broader array of services, programs and activities for individuals of all ages and abilities throughout these communities.
 
The future Lorton Community Center will be located adjacent to the Lorton Community Library on Richmond Highway in Lorton. The project is currently entering the initial design stage and is targeted for completion by early 2022.
 
Fairfax County Community Centers are multi-service facilities that serve the needs of individuals of all ages and abilities throughout Fairfax County. To that end, the county is seeking public input to ensure that this new facility is designed to meet the needs and interests of the communities they serve. We ask that you please take 10 minutes of your time to complete a 12 question survey regarding the facility.
