 In the vicinity of Tysons, Virginia, which in the 1940s was a small farming community called Tysons Corner at the crossroads of Route 7 and Route 123 in Fairfax County, Hazel saw the potential for large-scale development.The future Capital Beltway, a project envisioned since the early 1950s, and for which Hazel had been involved acquiring land for, was finally under construction as the 1950s came to a close.Planned to encircle Washington, D.C. roughly 10 miles out, the road would pass near Tysons Corner.
