Supervisor Michael Frey’s View of Centreville

Frey Reflects on Sully District

Michael Frey has lived in Centreville’s London Commons community for more than 20 years and has been the Sully District supervisor since the district was created in 1992. So Centre View asked him to explain what he believes makes Centreville so special. “An awful lot of community life is built around the schools,” he said. “People love them and the PTAs have tremendous support.” He also praised the volunteers who put on Centreville Day and other community events at E.C. Lawrence Park and its mill and visitors center. But what especially left an indelible mark on him, said Frey, was “the way people came together after the May 8, 2006 shooting at the Sully District Police Station. That, to me, says as much about the character of the community as anything.”

Column: 2013—Year With a Silver Lining?

As I sit looking out on Lake Anne on a gray post-Christmas day, I look back on 2012 and begin to feel optimistic about 2013. But, unlike past years, when my prognostications tended to be overly optimistic—e.g., predicting Reston’s achieving town status (as originally intended by Robert Simon) and escaping the oppression of Fairfax County. This year I’m sticking to cold, hard, objective analysis.
