Census: More People on the Move in 2009
Americans stayed put for about a year after the housing bust, but now they are back on the move, according to U.S. Census figures.
About 12.5 percent of the population, or 37.1 million people moved to a new home in 2009, up from 11.9 percent or 35.2 million in 2008, the census found.
About 25 percent of adults ages 25 to 34 moved in 2009. That’s up slightly compared to 2008, but down substantially from 32 percent in 2000. Older Americans also stayed where they were with long-distance migration falling to below 2 percent for people older than 60.
“Overall, there is nothing here that suggests a light at the end of the tunnel in the continued slowdown of long distance migration in the U.S.,” said William H. Frey, a demographer at Brookings Institution who analyzed the numbers. “States and communities hoping to see renewed migration gains in college graduates, retirees and families as a spark to their economic growth will continue to be disappointed.”

Park Authority Ribbon Cutting Set For New Stables
After many years of planning, local equestrians now have new state-of-the-art facilities at Frying Pan Farm Park in Herndon. The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, the Fairfax County Park Authority Board and the Founders, Benefactors, Supervisors and Friends of Frying Pan Farm Park will join with members of the community and equestrians in cutting the ribbon on the multimillion facilities.
Ceremonies will be held at Barn 1 at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 22, 2010. The 2004 Park Bond program included funding for construction of new horse stables. The Park Authority Board approved the project scope for the improvements in the fall of 2007. The work was completed in November 2009. The improvements include a 90-stall horse stable, a 60-stall horse stable, manure shed, gravel parking area for horse trailers, a warm-up riding ring and the demolition of four existing stables.
“This project was absolutely necessary. The old stables were literally falling apart, had drainage issues and were not healthy for horses,” said Fairfax County Park Authority Board Chairman Bill Bouie. “These new facilities are opening new doors for riding lessons and equestrian activities of all kinds. This is an investment we can really feel good about,” he added.
Construction costs were $3 million. Total project costs were $3.4 million. The general contractor was Hammerhead Construction Company of Sterling, VA.
Frying Pan Park is home to Kidwell Farm, a working model farm typical of farms found in Fairfax County in the early 20th-century. Also at Frying Pan are a Visitor Center, museum, rental facilities, picnic pavilion, country store, school house, nature trails, 18th century Baptist Meeting House, indoor and outdoor riding arenas, and an equestrian trail. Frying Pan Park is located at 2709 West Ox Road and may be reached by taking Beltway Exit 49 which is Route 66 west to the Route 50 west exit. Follow Route 50 west to a right on the Fairfax County Parkway until it meets West Ox Road. Turn left on West Ox Road and follow to the park entrance on the right.

Historic Huntley Site Renovations Work to Begin
Woods at Huntley Meadows
The Fairfax County Park Authority will soon begin making improvements to the Historic Huntley Site located at 6918 Harrison Lane in Alexandria, VA. Work will include rehabilitation of the Huntley Mansion, restoration of the historic outbuildings, and related site work. The project will begin in earnest in June and is scheduled for completion by April 2011. The general contractor will be Grunley Construction Company, Inc. of Rockville, MD.
Historic Huntley is a federal period villa built in 1825 for Thomson Francis Mason, a grandson of George Mason. Acquired by the Park Authority in 1989, the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Virginia Landmarks Register, and the Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites.
Huntley was a part of Hunting Creek Farm, now the site of Huntley Meadows Park. The farm provided oats, wheat, corn, hay, clover and other crops grown by slave and tenant labor. Huntley was conveniently located down the gravel road from Alexandria, where the Masons had their principal residence. Currently the site is open only for school or scout tours and during semiannual events.
Funding for the historic restoration is provided by the 2008 Park Bond and a federal Save
America’s Treasures matching grant for $100,000. Total project costs are $1.7 million. For
more information about this project contact Project Manager Jim Duncan at 703-324-8747.
