City Council is pushing to change current zoning laws on January 21st for developers who envision a cascade of new hotels, offices and shops—oversized buildings crammed into just a few blocks of historic waterfront, along with thousands more trucks, buses and cars jamming already crowded streets.

Join our rally in Market Square on January 21 to support a plan that includes:

  • Long-term economic growth.
  • Strong property values and city revenues.
  • Successful local businesses with a stake in Alexandria
  • Resources for our schools
  • A priceless quality of life across the city

Join citizens LIKE YOU who want to STOP a plan that will forever destroy Old Town's historic charm and character!
