Oakton Library Renaming

On July 21, 2026, Options for Oakton (O4O) and Smart Growth for Oakton (SG) shared that EYA reached out to inform them that they are working to submit new concept plans for the property in August. Following the submission, the developer anticipates beginning community outreach efforts in late summer or early fall to introduce the updated concept and gather feedback from residents and stakeholders. Leading the current submission efforts is Mika Gelfond-Gross, EYA Senior Development Manager, who is coordinating the project’s next phase and working toward advancing the revised plans.
