Editor’s note: Tysons Reporter will temporarily have “Morning Notes” every weekday instead of twice a week to accommodate more news.

Communications Firm in Tysons Files for Bankruptcy — “According OneWeb, the company had a difficult time securing funding in part because of the COVID-19 pandemic.” The firm expanded its presence in Tysons back in 2018. [Axios, Washington Business Journal]

Though #FCFRD fire stations are closed to the public, it did not stop some neighbors of Station 1, McLean, from letting the firefighters and paramedics know how they feel. A wonderful note taped outside that made our day! We ❤️our residents! We are all in this together. pic.twitter.com/6kIKVbxJj1
