UPDATE 03/28/24: The university has decided not to move forward with the Washington Freedom on negotiations to build a temporary baseball and cricket stadium on the West Campus. Click here for more information.

CCVCA is closely monitoring the GMU-Washington Freedom Cricket Stadium as it develops (click on photo to enlarge for better view). Please click here for resource links. Stay tuned for updates as well as potential opportunities for members to share their thoughts on this project. Feedback from the community will help determine what positions on the stadium will best serve the needs of Country Club View and surrounding neighborhoods.

Dr. Gregory Washington, GMU President, will be the guest speaker at the CCVCA General Membership Meeting on April 25! Please submit your questions or proposed topics to CCVCAFx@gmail.com or any CCVCA Board Member.

Guest speaker Dr. Gregory Washington, GMU President, will join us to discuss issues impacting our larger community, including development of GMU’s West Campus. Good communication is the heart of neighborliness, and Dr. Washington’s visit is an opportunity for CCV neighbors to communicate our hopes and expectations to the head of our university neighbor.

CCVCA 2024 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Every Address a Success!

Letter to CCV Neighbors from CCVCA President Marc Tang

Dear Neighbor,

As we reflect on this past year it is wonderful to see our community continue to shine. A recent Neighborhood Scout report describes Country Club View as a “combination of top public schools, low crime rates, and owner-occupied single-family homes giving this area the look and feel of a ‘Leave it to Beaver’ episode.” It also notes that “demand for real estate in Country Club View is above average for the U.S.” What the report doesn’t fully recognize is that we also have a thriving community of wonderful and engaged neighbors.

In 2023 our Country Club View Civic Association (CCVCA) membership included 242 (of 470+ total) households — our goal is to reach even higher neighbor participation this year! We invite all of you to renew your membership or join anew by selecting Join/Renew from the menu bar to securely complete your application online.
