I took my wife and daughter out for dinner recently explaining that where we were going was a metaphor for Crosstrail. There was only one question on the way home, "When will all this be in Leesburg?"
We were at Fairfax Corner, a retail development very similar to what The Peterson Companies are planning to develop at Crosstrail. The wait at Coastal Flats, a restaurant owned by the same company owns Sweet Water Tavern in Sterling, would have made us late for the movie. So we had an excellent dinner at Rio Grande. As we took a casual stroll to an amazing 16 screen multiplex, my wife and daughter were enthused the over shopping opportunities.On our way into Fairfax Corner, we passed Fair Lakes and very attractive office buildings with marquee names like Nortel Networks, General Dynamics, Northrop
Grumman, and IBM. We also saw residential clusters that were tastefully incorporated within walking and biking distance of the offices as well as all the great shopping and dining.The 500 plus acres between the Greenway, Battlefield Parkway, Crosstrail Boulevard and the Leesburg Airport is the perfect location for this type of development. It will improve our economy and our quality of life. Dinner and a movie anyone?
