Virginia state senators George Barker, Adam Ebbin and Del. Charniele Herring were also in attendance.

The state delegation discussed the recently concluded General Assembly session, with each representative highlighting what they consider the most significant results from that session. High on each of their lists was workforce development and its impact on the Northern Virginia region.

City Council members cited several issues they felt were significant in the current council session including the Metro at Potomac Yard, parking, the waterfront and the development of Landmark Mall.
