Looking at some of the items on the upcoming ballot, I see Fairfax wants to purchase 9.9 acres to possibly construct a new building. Where is this 9.9 acres located?

The 9.9 acres is located next to our Fire Station in the growth center. It's got a good price tag and interest rates are low, however we're in a tough economy, so this requires some thought.
We have a thread here somewhere on Henry's site that I will try to find so you may see previous discussion.
