The Reston Association Governance Committee is not authorized to act on the requests made by the residents who came before them to oppose the redevelopment of the St. Johns Wood apartments, but they did decide to pass a motion supporting the Restonians, and to bring their concerns to the full board in September. Director Ray Wedell (Center) made the motion that was passed by committee members (from left) Sherri Hebert, Eve Thompson and Michael Sanio. Cate Fulkerson (far right) is the CEO of the Reston Association, but is a non-voting member of the committee.

Reston Residents Oppose Apartment Redevelopment

180 residents sign petition opposing St. Johns development proposal in its current version.

St. Johns Wood is a sprawling campus of nine three-story buildings that house 250 apartments on about 14 acres of land nestled in the woods off Center Harbor Rd. in Reston - and that is exactly how some residents of the complex, and many of their neighbors in surrounding clusters of apartments, townhomes and single family dwellings would like to see it stay. A group about 35-strong made their opinions known at the Reston Association (RA) Governance Committee meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9, at the RA offices.
