Chairman, Sharon Bulova, of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors

On November 3rd, 2009, Sharon Bulova, the Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors sent out an E-bulletin to explain the plans for $15 Billion dollars that is goaled in the future for Tysons Corner.  The explanation was a self-described rebuttal or clarification of a Washington Post article October 30th, 2009 which “gave the impression that “Transforming Tysons” costs will break the bank.”

The breakdown of the $15 ($14.8) Billion figure and e-bulletin is as follows =

[A] $5.5 Billion for the Dulles Metro, Silver Line – $5.2 is to build the project, and $0.3 to operate over 40 years

[B] $5.4 Billion for extending the Metro on I-66 further west, which will include some funds for a express bus on the beltway HOT lanes, 66, and other major transit routes

[C] $1.2 Billion to create a grid of streets in Tysons, and associated costs (ie. eminent domain)

[D] $2.7 Billion

These figures are further broken down to be relevant to $67 million a year.  It is also explained that our region has experienced great growth and prosperity in the past 40 years, and certainly there is more to come in the next 40 years.
