Arlington-Alexandria local news roundups – August/September

Overview

ARLnow and ALXnow continue to provide daily news aggregations for Arlington and Alexandria, covering municipal actions, public safety, and community events.

Late July updates included an Arlington school board proposal regarding service-dog handling and an Alexandria City Council investigation into an in-custody death. August reports detailed a gun theft in Crystal City, a fatal crash on the George Washington Parkway, and the launch of an eviction-diversion program in Alexandria. Primary election turnout also showed a strong Democratic lead.

Recent regional updates highlight Alexandria health officials reporting measles exposure in Northern Virginia and school district discussions regarding bus eligibility. In Arlington, local discourse has turned toward the potential impacts of the Northern Virginia data center boom.

In early September, Alexandria lawmakers began seeking a special session regarding the Dominion-NextEra merger, while residential rents were reported to have decreased by 2.8% compared to the previous year. The reopening of Alexandria City Hall has been delayed until fall 2028 to allow for asbestos abatement.

In Arlington, student testing scores in Arlington Public Schools have shown improvement in four out of five categories. Other local developments include the return of the 9/11 memorial 5K, the opening of the Noble Fox restaurant in Rosslyn, and police warnings regarding scams involving fake bank calls and bogus toll texts.
