Boundary decision clouds Greater Alexandria annexation
The Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals decision on annexation creates uncertainty over whether Alexandria may absorb additional territory from Alexandria and Fairfax counties. The ruling, written by Judge R H Cardwell, remands the case and prompts questions about retrial or boundary setting. Costs are to be assessed against defendants. If approved, the city could gain land worth over $1,000,000, with five years of tax revenues fully directed to the annexed area. The city would also provide fire and police services and reimburse Fairfax County for two public schoolhouses in the disputed zone. The matter hinges on the court’s forthcoming opinion after delays from Harrisonburg.
