Arlington County Board Approves Plan to Move Forward with Arlington Mill
The Arlington County Board approved proceeding with a modified, phased plan for Arlington Mill, with the goal of opening a community center, gymnasium and plaza in the first quarter of 2013.
Despite significant efforts by the County's development partner, Public Private Alliance, was unable to secure financing for the market-rate apartment portion of the approved Arlington Mill Community Center redevelopment project. When coupled with the news from the Virginia Housing Development Authority that the project was not be eligible for Tax Credit Assistance Program funding, it was clear that the residential component of the Arlington Mill project could not advance at this time. The Board reiterated its commitment to build at least the 61 affordable units that were originally planned for the site.
The public portion of the plan will be financed by a bond approved by voters in November 2006. Phase I is expected to cost $24-$25 million. The amount will likely be entirely financed by public bonds. The modified plan will eliminate the residential units that under the original plan were to be built on top of the community center, but may include floors built above the community center for other County purposes. The second phase will include housing, to be built on the north side of the site.
