FIA has developed a Fairfax Master Plan (FMP) to serve as a guide to address short and long-term needs and wishes for the Fairfax District. Please review the FMP and let us know your thoughts. The FMP is also part of the Northeast Master Plan adopted by the Unified Government Board of Commissioners on Nov 29, 2018.

We are also including a project list below to let you know the status of projects for the FMP as we move forward. The FMP is a working document and will be edited and changed as needed.
