Happy New Year!

The newly-elected Board of Supervisors took office January 1st, and we are excited that they are already working on many of the issues outlined in our Platform for Loudoun's Future.

At their first meeting, our county leaders demonstrated a commitment to full citizen participation, public transparency, and meeting the needs of our existing communities. They:

  • Made it easier for citizens to speak up by providing more evening opportunities for public comment,
  • Signed an ethics pledge to make our county government more transparent,
  • Re-opened discussion on the suburban community planning process, which will identify existing needs in our suburban communities,
  • Recognized Loudoun's history and rural tourism by adopting a resolution of support for the Journey Through Hallowed Ground, and
  • Restored the Chairman's powers, which were stripped by the last Board of Supervisors.

There are still 30,000+ new houses in the pipeline along with a looming budget shortfall of $251 million, due in part to Loudoun's fast growth during the past decade. 

The task is to meet these challenges while addressing the needs of existing residents. The new Board of Supervisors needs our input and participation to chart a course that effectively responds to our priorities.

Our involvement will ensure adequate services for existing communities, good design for new development, and a more progressive transportation plan that emphasizes local street connections, pedestrian/bicycle friendliness, transit, and traffic reduction.  

We promise to keep you informed, as always.

Best wishes for healthy and happy 2008,

Rebecca Perring, Coalition for Smarter Growth
On behalf of the Campaign for Loudoun's Future
