Housing Panel Hosted By Herndon Council

Herndon Town Council hosted a Panel Discussion on Housing Tues., Jan. 5 to build proficiency and understanding in matters related to housing policy development. Video of the discussion is available online. Town Manager Bill Ashton moderated. He said the event would be part of an ongoing series and kicking off the first discussion would be remarks by three panelists. A question and answer period would follow. According to Herndon Connection, "State Sen. Jennifer Boysko (D-33) offered information based on her service as an elected official and her prior role as a legislative aide to Fairfax County Supervisor John Foust. The positions provided her with information about Fairfax County housing and land use issues. She said, "Affordable housing is a top priority for all Virginians especially in our neck of the woods where we have such a wide-ranging group of people from all backgrounds and demographics. It's important that we have housing stock that allows everybody to live affordably." As per Herndon Connection, "Sen. Barbara Favola (D-31) brought a wide range of experience and knowledge of housing issues in Northern Virginia. According to Favola, the challenge was how do we achieve affordable housing when our land area is so expensive, our quality of life is high, and that translates to a very high cost of living."
