Download RCA Petition for Reston
Town Status
Reston Citizens Association Board members
and volunteers are circulating petitions for Reston residents to sign to ask the legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia to authorize a referendum to vote on whether Reston should be incorporated as a town.
Anyone interested in circulating a petition on their own can download one
HERE. (instructions are on the form).
The actual wording of the petition is as follows:
"We the qualified voters of Reston (defined as Small Tax District #5) do hereby petition that the legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia authorize a referendum to enable the qualified voters of Reston to vote on whether Reston should become incorporated as a town."
Unlike our neighbors, the Towns of Herndon and Vienna, Reston is not incorporated as a political entity and 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: 1.
Allow Reston to guide its own future; 2. Provide an official voice for Reston on major issues; and 3. Provide new and existing community services and facilities efficiently.
A slide presentation, brochures and other information
on Reston becoming a town are
available HERE.
