Hey Braddock! Earlier today, I had the opportunity to attend the Lake Accotink Open House alongside former Braddock District Supervisor and now Rep. James Walkinshaw and Franconia District Supervisor Rodney Lusk to hear important updates about the future of one of Braddock District’s most cherished community assets.
During the event, Turgay Dabak and Joni Calmbacher from Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (DPWES) Stormwater Management Division shared information from the ongoing Sedimentation Study, helping residents better understand the challenges facing the lake and the options being evaluated to address sediment buildup. Alex Burdick from the Fairfax County Park Authority also presented the results of the Dam Study, providing valuable insight into the condition of the dam and considerations for its long-term future.
Thank you to the county staff, subject matter experts, and community members who participated in this important conversation. Lake Accotink is a treasured resource for our residents, and I remain committed to ensuring our community stays informed and engaged as we work together to shape its future.
