LUNCHEON PROGRAM

The Future of Rosslyn: Exploring its Evolution with the Rosslyn BID

Join the members of Lambda Alpha International George Washington (LAIGW) Chapter for our monthly luncheon program, featuring Alli Henry, the Rosslyn Business Improvement District’s (BID) Senior Community Planning Director, as we discuss the remarkable transformation of Rosslyn. Once known as Arlington County’s premier commercial district, Rosslyn has evolved into a desirable urban neighborhood.

As the Rosslyn BID celebrates its 20th anniversary, this is an exciting time to reflect on the district’s growth and look ahead to its future. In just two decades, the BID has worked closely with Arlington County and numerous stakeholders to reshape the neighborhood into a dynamic, connected, and inviting community.

During this presentation, we’ll dive into Rosslyn’s ongoing evolution, from its expanding residential population to its iconic skyline. We’ll also highlight the key developments, major planning initiatives, and the pivotal role the Rosslyn BID continues to play in shaping the neighborhood’s bright future!
