[Archived] Jones Point Park Construction Community Liaison Group Meeting Scheduled for Tuesday, May 1

For Immediate Release: April 20, 2012

To ensure construction activities continue with little disruption, and to continue to provide a forum for open dialogue with the surrounding community, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), with participation of the National Park Service and City of Alexandria, created a Community Liaison Information Group on Jones Point Park Construction. The final meeting of the liaison group is scheduled for Tuesday, May 1 at 7 p.m. at the Lee Center, 1108 Jefferson Street.

The purpose of the meeting is to allow for liaison members and the public to ask questions and receive an update on ongoing Jones Point Park construction activities. The meeting is open to the public and will include representatives from the project’s managing parties -- VDOT and the National Park Service--as well as staff from the City of Alexandria.

The Community Liaison Information Group is comprised of representatives from resident groups that may be most impacted by ongoing work at Jones Point Park.  In addition, group members are identified as direct points of contact for gathering information on neighborhood concerns or questions, and have direct contact to VDOT to address such items as they arise.

The meeting is expected to last approximately one hour. For additional information, visit www.alexandriava.gov/recreation.
