1. Crescent Coming Up - On Sept. 10, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will have a decision on the proposed interim agreement for the redevelopment of Reston's Crescent Apartments. Get up to speed on the issue here.

2. Oakcrest Eyes New Spot - also on the Sept. 10 BOS agenda: a public hearing on the previously approved zoning ordinance for the Oakcrest School, which is seeking to develop 22 acres at Hunter Mill and the Dulles Toll Road for its campus.
