不久前，公众接受了工程师和公共工程官员关于大型公共工程项目的必要性和配置的判断。这种信念后来被怀疑、不信任、环保行动主义和限制政府支出的强烈愿望所取代。综上所述，这些因素要求在规划公共工程项目时作出特别努力。在弗吉尼亚州费尔法克斯县这样一个政治活跃、知识渊博的社区尤其如此。包括数字。

Taken together, these factors demand that special efforts be made when public works projects are planned. This is especially true in a politically active and knowledgeable community such as Fairfax County, Virginia. Includes figures.
