Events & Happenings March 26th - March 31st

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

Apologies for the delay in sending this out this week - I had family in town this weekend.

Arlington County is collecting feedback on the drafted Arlington Transportaiton System Vision and Goals. The deadline was extended through March 27. Share your input here.

Arlington County has also created a webpage that offers information on Assistance for Federal Employees and Contractors given the current federal reduction in force. Check out their website here.

Let’s have a great week!
