The board has officially selected the Lexington Seven site for the new high school. I am grateful to everyone who helped ensure this logical and efficient outcome was reached. We will continue to monitor the development process as construction begins.

Dear Loudoun County Public Schools board and Loudoun County Board of Supervisors:
We support the location of HS 8 at Lexington Seven as the most logical, economical, and time-effective choice.
Please consider these factors:
- The cost and impact of a proposed traffic circle at Upper Belmont and Riverpoint Drive in Lansdowne;
- The loss of irreplaceable playing fields at Lansdowne Sports Park;
- The influx of thousands of vehicles per day through two Level of Service "F" intersections on Belmont Ridge Road;
- The unnecessary cost of a parking garage and retaining walls at the National Conference Center site;
- The need to purchase of 42 acres at National Conference Center to obtain 28 usable acres when 76 acres at Lexington Seven are ready to build with infrastructure in place;
- A dedicated turn lane to the Lex 7 site via Loudoun Co. Parkway with no merge into Rt. 7 traffic;
- Ready access to Lex 7 via Loudoun Co. Parkway for students from north Ashburn (the majority at HS 8);
- Ready access to Lex 7 via Riverside Parkway from west and east;
- Proximity of Lex 7 to the prestigious Howard Hughes Medical Institute;
- Four colleges in immediately vicinity of Lex 7: George Washington Univ., Northern Va. Community College, Shenandoah and Strayer;
- Room to grow at Lex 7 with room for a police sub-station;
- Lex 7 is a prime commercial location available for public use at this time only due to market conditions and
- Effect of construction on existing homeowners is considerably greater at NCC than at Lex 7.
- Please consider consolidation and purchase of the affected homes at Potomac Farm should the Lex 7 site be selected.

So obvious. Why is this even a debate?
Hope they pick the logical spot. Enough with the delays.
Honestly the board needs to start listening to the residents for once. We have lived here 15 years and traffic is bad enough.
My kids go to school in this area and the road construction is going to be a disaster. Just build at the Lex 7 site already.
STOP WASTING OUR TAX MONEY ON A TRAFFIC CIRCLE. Use the site that makes sense.

The traffic around here is already a nightmare. Putting it at Lex 7 just makes sense for everyone involved.
