School bus parking lot. Gated, with engine block heaters for the winter, and bathroom facilities for the drivers.
There are other threads here on it... basically Fairfax City owed it to FCPS as part of a land buy near GMU. They tried to build the bus lot at Woodson HS but the community objected and VDOT would not allow it without major improvements to the Pickett/236 intersection. So Fairfax City forced the tank farm to sell the land after a consultant told them that was the best available location.
One footnote to the construction. A contractor dug deeper than called for in the plans and found a pool of some type of fuel. Don't know how it was resolved, but it delayed the work for a couple of days.
