The Confederate Names Task Force (CNTF) is holding listening sessions to get public feedback on whether the names of two major roadways in Fairfax County should be changed.

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors established CNTF back in July to review the names of Lee Highway (U.S. Route 29) and Lee-Jackson Memorial Highway (U.S. Route 50), and to make recommendations to the Board on whether to change the names on one or both roadways. If such a recommendation is made, CNTF will also provide recommendations on proposed alternative names.

While the CNTF will make a recommendation on whether to change the names of the roadways, the final decision will be made by the Board of Supervisors.
