Stormwater Improvement Bond Passes
Huntington residents lobbied strongly for the passage of a $30 million bond to fund flooding prevention.
Fairfax County voters passed the $30 million stormwater bond referendum that will pay to build a levee and pumping station to protect the Huntington neighborhood from flooding.
Less than two weeks ago, residents in Huntington were evacuated as Hurricane (later turned Superstorm Sandy) blew over the region.
Final unofficial results from the Virginia State Board of Elections showed 76.7 of voters across Fairfax County supported the referendum. At the Huntington precinct 607 specifically, 89.4 percent of voters supported it.
