McLean
The McLean Commercial Revitalization District (CRD) is located in the northeast portion of Fairfax County, and is centered at the intersection of Chain Bridge Road, Dolly Madison Boulevard, and Old Dominion Drive; it is in close proximity to 1-495, 1-95, George Washington Parkway and I-66. With its small town charm and superior accessibility to the premier commercial markets of the Tysons Corner and the District of Columbia, the McLean CRD provides visitors, residents and businesses a classic combination of the “Best of Both Worlds".
The Mclean area is renowned for its affluent, stable residential neighborhoods and a wide variety of community serving retail uses and businesses. Seeking to preserve and enhance the CRD’s small town environment while stimulating change, the revitalization concept for Mclean centers on the creation of North and South Villages. This balanced reinvestment strategy primes the area for expansion of community serving retail and businesses, additional residential development, public amenities, and entertainment venues that will draw current and future generations to live, work, and play in the McLean CRD.
