Though the Virginia General Assembly won’t convene for another six months, Reston Association is starting to lay the groundwork for a major advocacy push.
The homeowners’ association recently issued a request for proposals seeking research and communications firms that could assist it in lobbying state lawmakers, particularly regarding the expected return of legislation to make Fairfax County eligible for a casino.
The request was sent out to “a few firms” suggested by RA’s current lobbyist, Lamar Consulting, according to an update that RA CEO Mac Cummins is slated to deliver at the Board of Directors meeting tomorrow (Thursday).
“Staff expect responses in the coming weeks and will return to the Board of Directors with a contract for consideration this summer,” the update says.
