2018 SESSION
18107140DWHEREAS, the Truro community traces its roots to 1967, when Fairfax County approved Miller and Smith’s environmentally conscious development proposal to preserve the mature forest and natural topology of the headwaters of Turkey Run by encompassing its flood plain in 35 acres of parkland and by constructing a variety of home designs that could settle into the terrain; and
WHEREAS, encompassing adjacent newly constructed homes, the Truro Homes Association was incorporated on May 15, 1968, and has achieved many successes in supporting and providing a unified voice for the 377 residents of the beautiful Truro community to make it a wonderful place to live and raise a family; and
WHEREAS, through the Truro Homes Association, countless volunteers have preserved and enhanced its parkland and trails network; supported swimming, diving, tennis, Scouting, and other youth activities; and fostered robust use of its clubhouse to unify the community; and
WHEREAS, the Truro neighborhood blends mid-century modern architecture with its natural wooded setting, featuring award-winning home designs whose intrinsic value has been enhanced through the Truro Homes Association’s architectural guidelines and which have contributed to the neighborhood’s unique relaxing atmosphere within bustling Northern Virginia; and
WHEREAS, the results of such dedication and love of community have led to Truro being named as one of the best neighborhoods in the Washington metropolitan area; and
WHEREAS, Truro residents have honored the heritage of the neighborhood’s namesake, the colonial Truro Parish of the Anglican Church, which predates Fairfax County, through their countless contributions to the region as leaders in business, government, education, professional advancement, and philanthropic endeavors; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly hereby commend the Truro community on the occasion of its 50th anniversary; and, be it
RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to the Truro Homes Association as an expression of the General Assembly’s admiration for the many contributions of the Truro community to Fairfax County and the Commonwealth.
