Arlington, VA

February meeting agenda: We will first vote on the bylaws amendment (please see page 4 of our February newsletter for the details) Then, Sekas Homes is planning redevelopment of the Oak Street Apartments located at the corner of Wilson Boulevard and N. Oakland Street. Sekas is proposing a small multifamily building with 26 units, consisting of 10 one-bedroom units and 16 two-bedroom units, consistent with the 2002 Virginia Square Sector Plan. They note the County’s goals with respect to replacement of the existing building’s eight market rate affordable units, and intend to work with staff during the 4.1 Site Plan review process to ensure the recommendations of the Affordable Housing Master Plan and Sector Plan are met as part of the projects community benefits. AHCA has also invited the CivFed Housing Committee to come to this meeting. 

Hot Topic: Note that AHCA received a grant from the Virginia Department of Forestry for 120 trees. With the planting of 92, we have 38 more trees to place in Ashton Heights; these will be installed in March 2026. Send an email to brooke.alexander52@gmail.com if you are interested in having a consultation for a potential tree in your yard!
