Amina Abdullah and her son Piran had a vested interest in attending the I-66 informational meeting. With their contractor Richard Lensis in tow (“I’m just here for moral support,” said Lensis) the Abdullahs located their plot on the Fairfax proposal section. “We’ve been working hard and saving for a couple of years to build a garage for our house,” said Mrs. Abdullah. “We are pretty close to I-66. I was just worried that after all of this, maybe we couldn’t build it or maybe we would have to move it or something.” Lensis and the I-66 Project team member took a good look at the map and were able to reassure the Abdullahs that the improvements would not impact their construction plans.
