Halacy To Lead Citizens For Great Falls
Under the provisions of the Virginia Code, the volunteer officers of the newly formed Citizens for Great Falls selected John Halacy as President. Halacy assumed his duties immediately upon the vote of the officers.
Halacy began his civic involvement in Great Falls in 2021 when he became the Coordinator of the Springvale Road Bridge Working Group. That working group became the focal point for community efforts to preserve the Springvale Road single-lane bridge over Difficult Run. His efforts involved countless meetings with state and county officials and contributions to communications leading up to formal requests to the Secretary of Transportation and the Governor. He has served as an HOA president and the president of Great Falls other civic association and led its Transportation Committee.
Well-versed in the challenges associated with elevating controversial local issues and engaging with elected officials, Halacy fully understands the need to encourage citizen and member participation along the way and to function openly and transparently.
On assuming the role of president, he looks forward to growing the membership of CFGF because he believes the community deserves to have a choice in setting its future path and that we, as officers, are all accountable to our membership having been entrusted to act with the highest degree of ethics and in observance of the laws governing our organization.
