Gets Offer
Of Park Aid

The Northern Virginia Re-
gional Park Authority has
offered to develop a regional
park along Four-Mile Run in
Arlington County.
Mrs. Mary Cook Hickman,
vice chairman, said the au-
thority plans to apply for Fed
eral funds to help finance the
project if Arlington approves.
The Arlington County Board
will have to decide whether il
wants to develop parks along
the stream itself or let the re-
gional group do it.
County board members have
said that they want to start
park development along Airing
ton streams under the Federal
Capper-Crampton Act. Mrs
Hickman said the advantages
Of developing the stream by the
regional authority are the pos.
sibility of acquiring Federal
help in purchasing all of the
land involved and the use by
Arlington of the energies Of
the Regional Park Authority ir
steering requests for Capper.
Champion funds" through Fed
eral agencies.
The county board will con.
slider the offer tomorrow.

1OO-Acre
Industrial
Park PIunned

One of the largest industrial
parks in the Washington Met
ropolitan area Is planned for
the Ravensworth farm area of
Fairfax County.
The industrial park would
coptain 100 acres. Plans for 1t
were announced by the Fairfax
County Economic and Indus
trial Development Committee.
The land is owned by the
Crestwood Construction Corp.
The industrial area would
parallel the circumferential
highway on the west, Braddock
road on the north and Flagg
Run on the south.
The park would be designed
to appeal to research and de-
velopment. light manufacture
ing and some distribution con-
Germs.
Strict controls are planned,
including architects review o.
building plans. set-backs,
smoke and noise control and
off-street parking and delivery.
An access road running along
the circumferential highway to
Braddock road Is planned.
William B. Wrench, executive
director of the development
committee, said he had "rec-
ognized for some time not only
the dire need to preserve indus
trial areas adjacent to the cir
cumferential highway. but the
necessity for having industrial
land ready for immediate occu-
pancy."
Water. sewers, power and
natural gas are available at the
site, Mr.. Wrench said.
Mr.. Wrench said "prelimi-
nary plans make it feasible to
have up to 20 different firms
on the tract with a total in.
vestment Of around $40 million,
which could pay a total of
$250,000 to Fairfax County in
lreal estate and personal prop
erty taxes"
A coming request has been
filed for a major portion OF the
area. Mr.. Wrench said. noting
that the application is expected
to be heard In the near future.
