The Willard Sherwood Health and Community Center (WSHCC) is a City of Fairfax project to construct a new health and community center, intended in part to replace the aging Green Acres facility for senior services. As of April 2025, the project's future was uncertain due to staffing and building security concerns, with a full City Council presentation scheduled for April 22, 2025, and all city trails work paused in the interim.

Its named spaces include Council Chambers, Work Session Room 111, the Atrium, Judge's Chambers, City Manager Conference Room, Sisson House, and Council Executive Room 100 (in the City Hall Annex). Over the tracked period (mid-2024 through late 2026), City Hall has hosted School Board organizational and closed meetings, PRAB regular meetings, HHCAB regular and committee meetings, City Council work sessions and special meetings, Planning Commission sessions, and public events such as a new school board member reception (January 2025) and early voting (through October 31, 2026). Beyond meeting venue use, two notable infrastructure developments are associated with City Hall: a grant-funded installation of 20 new EV charging stations (announced December 2024, with a fee revision discussed at a February 2026 Council work session), and the temporary return of the MLK statue to City Hall from January 14 through February 2026.

The Fairfax Art League began displaying artwork at City Hall in late February 2025, and City Hall hosts the MediaScribe real-time captioning and translation service in its Council Chambers and Work Session Room. A Comprehensive Plan Implementation Group meeting focusing on Old Town was held in the Work Session Room in June 2026, and City Hall's surrounding streetscape was referenced in connection with a road diet completed on University Drive from City Hall to South Street several years prior.
