Dave, I personally haven't a clue. No ground has been broken as of yet. With the current state of the economy, coupled with the county having to build a brand new FS10 (busiest house in the county), I think it could be quite some time...
Fortunately 39 and 29 have a straight shot down route 7 (from opposing directions) to access what will eventually become 42's district.
Hope that helps!

FS10 has had several issues in moving forward. The Bailey's Crossroads VFD signed over all their assets to Fairfax County in November 2010. There has been considerable hemming and hawing between the their insurance company and what they would cover, literally. The insurance company would not pay for a tent for Truck 410 since it is a county truck, not a volunteer owned rig, hence, T410 spends the night at FS28.
There have also been issues involving the leases the volunteer corporation has with various telecommunciations companies that utilize the volunteer-owned cell tower which had to be ironed out in the transfer of assets to Fairfax County. A suitable location has to be found to set up a temporary fire station with tents and trailers since the piece of land the current FS10 sits on can't support an active construction site and one of the county's busiest fire stations.
An architect still has to be contracted and the site plan and design completed and approved/accepted by Fairfax County. For as continency-planning oriented as the Fire and Rescue Department can be for anticipated disasters and coupled with the experiences (learning curve) gained after the fire at the Burke VFD, this process should have been a bit more streamlined.
