Take Our Survey

How can FCA add value to your Fairlington experience? Are there problems you want us to tackle? Topics you want us to examine? What about activities to address needs that you and your neighbors share? Community conversations you want us to lead? Information you want about things that affect the neighborhood? What do you want to see more or less of in the near future?

The FCA wants to hear from you in our new survey about local activities, events, and areas of interest to better understand how we can continue to serve the Fairlington community. As a thank you, respondents will be entered for a chance to win a gift card to a Shirlington restaurant of their choosing. The survey should take less than five minutes.

Drones Flying Over Arlington 

Arlington County has hired a contractor to perform a drone survey of heat signatures transecting the County to measure the white-tailed deer population. The drones will be flying over Arlington beginning a half hour before sunrise April 5 each day until 30 minutes after sunset until the survey is completed. They will not be flying at night. The survey could take up to two weeks, but is weather dependent. The information gleaned from the survey will inform the development of the County’s Forestry and Natural Resources Plan. Through the use of heat signatures, these surveys will only collect information on deer; it does not identify people.

Fairlington Home Improvement Seminar POSTPONED

The 6th Annual Fairlington Home Improvement Seminar was set to kick off virtually this weekend. Due to unavoidable scheduling problems, we will need to postpone the event. Check back for updates.

Each event will include two parts: a recorded video posted on social media and a live, interactive video session. Selected contractors will have creative license to produce their own video, which will be posted on the FCA’s Facebook page, well in advance of a scheduled and advertised live Zoom session, hosted by the FCA.

Community members interested in viewing and/or participating are encouraged to follow the FCA’s Facebook page for details or email Board Secretary Chris Weathers at cweathers at ttrsir.com to receive updates.
