I got a call this morning from a reporter with the Washington Post (Kafia Hosh: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/staff/articles/kafia+hosh/) telling me about the new proposed fees that Fairfax County may be incurring starting April 1, 2010. I had no idea and I will be sad, especially since the fees are so steep, but it’s understandable that the park wants to gain some revenue and manage the photography sessions. If you wish to get involved or comment, there will be a meeting tomorrow night:
The Fairfax County Park Authority will hold its annual public comment meeting on the agency’s proposed fee adjustments for this year on Wednesday, February 2, 2011, at 7 p.m., in Room 106 of the Herrity Building located at 12055 Government Center Parkway in Fairfax, VA. This is an opportunity to learn more about current proposals and to comment on these proposed changes.
