A
B
B
C
That's
different
from
what
we've
done
separately
as
a
county
in
the
city
of
Alexandria,
so
I
think
is
a
great
start,
and
it's
also
consistent
with
you
know
in
January
we
talked
about
and
what
are
the
sort
of
contagion,
the
the
other
impacts
that
could
come
from
moving
forward
in
this
way,
which
we
all
supported
on
the
board,
and
this
is
sort
of
the
first
step
towards
fulfilling
the
promise
that
I
think
that
the
this,
that
of
inclusive
growth,
that
we
all
want
to
see
from
this
yeah
so
is
great
start.
I
really
felt
now.
A
B
B
So
we're
gonna
have
to
create
something,
and
we
still
haven't
figured
out
exactly
what
that
will
be,
but
will
will
leverage
our
long
history
of
working
together
to
clean
up
four
mile
run
and
make
it
more
flood
resilient
will
leverage
all
of
the
things
that
we've
done
on.
You
know
various
initiatives
over
the
years
and
come
up
with
a
infrastructure
or
sort
of
a
governance
model,
but,
more
importantly,
get
our
staff
working.
B
B
C
The
at
all
levels
at
the
staff
level
and
then
there
will
be
an
opportunity
for
citizens
really
interested
in
inclusive
growth
to
join
and
then
they'll
also
be
a
couple
of
board
members
that
will
be
engaging.
All
of
us
will
be
aware,
but
it's
that
sort
of
flexible
approach
that
and
focusing
on
these
kita
topics
that
made
this
a
great
start
and
will
follow
up
and
is.
A
B
Know
the
great
thing
about
our
joint
meeting:
Matt
I,
don't
know
if
you
remember
so.
We
gathered
at
the
start
of
the
month.
October
first
and
we've
got
all
12
elected
officials,
seven
from
Alexandria
five
from
Arlington,
and
we
go
through
this
facilitated
process
to
identify
what
are
the
priorities
and
housing.
B
How
do
we
help
small
businesses
who
traditionally
get
left
behind
when
it
comes
to
massive
kinds
of
investments
in
communities
that
was
sort
of
a
secondary
priority,
as
was
the
desire
to
make
sure
that
there
were
career
pathways
through
through
the
education
sphere
for
for
people
to
get
tech
trained,
but
also
for
kids
coming
up
to
have
access
to
to
the
kinds
of
of
curricula
that
will
benefit
them
from
our
becoming
this
sort
of
tip
tech?
Hug.
B
Excuse
me
in
this
area,
so
those
were
kind
of
the
three
major
priorities
and
while
we're
going
to
pay
attention
to
transportation,
we
feel
like
that's
something
that's
further
along
in
terms
of
our
you
know,
handling
what
is
to
come.
It's
these
other
areas
where
we
know
we
have
to
sharpen
our
pencils
and
do
something
differently
and.
C
B
We're
talking
all
the
time
and
right
now,
it's
at
the
staff
level,
where
county
managers
works
here
in
Arlington
and
the
city
manager
in
Alexandria
mark
Jenks
are
going
to
have
their
staffs
iterate
some
ideas
for
how
we
take
what
we
talked
about
on
the
first
and
how
we
operationalize
it
in
the
near
term.
So
we'll
wait
for
that.
We
should.
