Members of the County Board expressed enthusiasm that the project’s non-committed affordable units still generally fell within an acceptable range of affordability. In 2015, the average rent in Arlington rose to $1,977. According to the Annual Affordable Housing Targets Report for 2015, the steadily increasing cost of rents between 2011 and 2015 meant that 1,644 units had been affordable to residents at 60 percent of the area median income, 31 percent of the County’s affordable rental stock, were no longer affordable. Photo contributed Kathleen McSweeney, a member of the Planning Commission, said the Commission had considered the project at their July 7 meeting and discussion primarily centered around the new building’s effect on traffic in the neighborhood.

Just a minute—is this a double take? Clara Hermida grabs a maraca from the instruments on the floor at Music Together and runs to show it to her father. Meanwhile her twin sister Mae Hermida marches to her own drummer and is ready to join the band. Breianne McKinley Zaug teaches this Music Together class targeted for birth-5-year-olds at Langston-Brown Tuesday and Wednesday and Lubber Run Monday and Thursday. McKinley says she first had the twins in her class when they were six months old and this is their third year. Trained Music Together teachers for groups of 6-12 children and their parents or caregivers lead these 45-minute programs. Registration for the fall sessions will open Aug. 10 for Arlington County residents. Learning To Make Music Breianne McKinley Zaug dumps a large bucket of child-size instruments onto the floor at Langston-Brown Community Center where she teaches a Music Together class for children from birth-5 years old. The children march randomly around the room, with Graham stopping to play his instrument with her. The Music Together program, reaching families worldwide, says “when given a supportive environment, children learn to sing and dance as naturally as they learn to walk and talk.” “Flourishing After 55”
