Dan, Alexandria gave us permission to import their data but still wanted the 100 dollar CD fee. Someone paid that and we do have the data.
As far as I know nobody has asked Fairfax County, but I figured making D.C. look nice with a combination of mapping and importing would be a strong tool when asking other jurisdictions for data. After importing the DC data we were going to make a strong push to ask others. One thing we've been trying to do is have residents of those counties/ cities ask about importing data. I live in Loudoun County and have been discussing with them the possibly obtaining their data as well. A lot of local jurisdictions seem interested I think more than anything they just need to be approached in the right way.
