All parties want it built. The dispute is about what the various party wants Tysons Corner to look like in 25 years. The grass is truly greener on the other side. Hopefully this thing gets built. There is no 'Hopefully' about it. It will get built. The state and local jurisdictions have their construction funding sources in place, partly using special taxing districts. The collection of moneys using special taxing districts began more then 2 years ago. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority will pay their share using bonds that will be retired from the Dulles Toll Road revenue. Tolls on the Dulles Toll Road were raised almost 3 years ago. It is my believe that when the bonds are retired that the toll revenue will be used to partly pay for the operating costs. If this becomes reality, it should make Ron happy.
