Reston Governance

Reston is not incorporated as a political entity and therefore has no official voice 
on major issues affecting it.  Based on Reston’s founding principles and previous studies, 
RCA supports a governance plan that will:

● Allow Restonians to guide their own future
● Provide the official voice for Reston on major issues
● Provide new and existing community services and facilities efficiently
