The Town of Reston?
The Federation is exploring the issue of whether the state should modify current legislation to allow a referendum by Reston residents to form a town.
In the late 1970's the state legislature empowered a joint subcommittee to study community government in urbanizing counties. The subcommittee's report and appendices A and B are available here.
For more information on the Reston initiative see the Reston Citizens' Association web site.
