3.1 The Pentagon City Sector Plan190
Although more than 2,400 individuals191 opposed the county’s proposed plan citing significant issues, over one hundred individuals testified192 opposing the plan in several County meetings and at the February 2022 Arlington County Board193, 194 monthly meeting, two civic associations voted on resolutions to not approve the plan due to its questionable impact on the community, hundreds of people wrote to the County Board, and experts testified that this Plan would be detrimental to equity and livability, the county voted 5-0 to move the Pentagon City Sector Plan offering no acknowledgment of dissenting opinions.
The County Board did not address the issues or even extend the engagement period for the many thousands of people who just only learned about the project at the very end of the process.195 Letters from the public are not included with the County agenda.196
