A Platform
for Loudoun's Future
We
citizens of Loudoun County are passionate in defense of our communities and
our environment.
The current quality
of life and the future of the County are threatened by unrelenting traffic,
longer commutes, and inadequate public services stemming from a pace of growth
we cannot afford.
Read
our platform and vision for Loudoun's
Future.
For the past four years, Loudoun County has been the target of national developers
and their proposals for massive increases in residential development beyond
what our roads, schools and other community services can handle. Ignoring the
2001 Comprehensive Plan, developers have tried to add tens of thousands more
houses to the more than 30,000 new units already in the pipeline.
The 2001 plan was developed in a multi-year, extensive public participation
process, with thousands of citizen volunteer hours spent to help think it through.
It lays out a more sustainable amount of growth. But the implementation
of community level plans and services has been ignored while developer demands
consumed County staff time and resources.
Thousands of us have fought back, seeking a say in the future of our home
and the way it is planned. We want adequate libraries, ball fields, and
schools for our children. We want to be surrounded by healthy ecosystems,
which also provide habitat for wildlife. We value the history, rural
economy and scenic beauty. We want the County to sustain our quality
of life and property values. From suburban to rural Loudoun, we
want the County to look out for the best interests of current and future residents.
