The land is greatly needed not just for "education" in the abstract but for actual school facilities.
Conversation: This land is too precicious to turn it over just for another middle school or high school.
What is needed is to bring education and knowledge based economic development such as a "Innovation Center Project" working with Exxon Mobile Foundation if possible.
Exxon Mobile Foundation has both international and national goals that can be accomodate in a non-profit consortium for systematic technology innovation that creates new opportunities for physical science and life sciences, the two key focus to the knowledge economy of Fairfax County quality life style in everyday living.
Innovation Center "success models' exist in such high tech community with strong research universities as in Sillicon Valley and Boston.
GMU, VCU, GWU, AU are examples of universities in our NOVA DC Hub who can aspire to the quality of a MIT, Standford , Cal Tech in the next decade.
We can overcome the heavy burden of Civil War finally in Virginia , no doubt.
Hello Exxon Mobile Foundation ! (who is appropriate to approach them for a conversation on this topic ?)
Example: Botany Lab__ Transgenic Botany (Life Science Frontier)
