In the coming months, Tysons Corner Center will shake up its retail lineup with a mix of brand-new stores and existing brands undergoing renovations.
The first newcomer is Mejuri, which will open its 42nd shop on the mall’s second floor near Nordstrom this Friday (April 11). This will be the Canada-based jeweler’s second location in the D.C. region, following a 2023 opening at Bethesda Row in Maryland.
Public benefits assistance, child care and senior center support services are just a few of the areas where Fairfax County might pull back on funding, as it seeks to close a $292.7 million budget gap.
If approved, the $59.8 million in potential reductions would be the county’s largest funding cut since it slashed over $90 million in 2009 following the Great Recession, County Executive Bryan Hill told the Board of Supervisors when presenting his proposed fiscal year 2026 budget plan on Feb. 18.

A Fairfax County police officer will not face criminal charges for shooting and killing a Reston woman after she struck him with a knife and cornered him in a dead-end hallway last September.
After telling Sydney Wilson numerous times to “back up” while she pursued him with a knife, Police Officer First Class (PFC) Peter Liu fired five gunshots in her direction — an adequate response on Liu’s part, Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano said yesterday (Tuesday).
The Fairfax County Police Department has implemented a formal policy for handling foot pursuits.
The department released guidelines on foot pursuits last week that it says will ensure officers utilize “leading-industry best practices” when handling “unpredictable events.” The new policy officially takes effect today (Wednesday).
