Leaders from the Mount Vernon-Lee Chamber of Commerce dropped by this morning to discuss with David development along the Route 1 corridor in Fairfax County. The Chamber is working to improve visibility of commercial zones along Route 1 to help increase commerce in the area. The program will lead motorists to attractions and shopping centers from the highway once approved by VDOT.
Virginians Against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence visited to discuss their efforts to enhance protective orders and keep individuals under these directives from buying guns. The group is also working to help law enforcement officers draft written policies on responding to sexual violence in Virginia, helping these agencies be better prepared to assist victims and catch criminals.
David also met with visitors from the Alexandria Boys and Girls Club, which works to develop character and leadership among all of Alexandria’s children. The Club sponsors programs that help students complete homework assignments, prepare for the Standards of Learning tests, train and prepare for summer jobs, and get involved in arts, sports and other extracurricular activities.
