A currently precarious federal contracting landscape has one major company rethinking its office needs in Fairfax County.
The Mitre Corporation is seeking to revise a master plan approved eight years ago for its Tysons headquarters campus, consolidating unbuilt office space that was previously going to be spread across five new buildings into two high-rise towers. One existing building and three undeveloped lots would be replaced by multifamily housing.
Contractors in Fairfax County appear to be feeling the effects of the Trump administration’s ongoing campaign to slash federal funding.
Mitre Corporation will lay off 442 employees primarily at its Tysons headquarters campus on June 3, while Reston-based Leidos will eliminate 29 workers based in its Lincolnia office, effective May 30, according to notices that both companies filed this week with the Virginia Department of Workforce Development and Advancement.
