Loudoun County is writing a new Comprehensive Plan which sets the policy for growth, development, zoning, transportation and services. Our current plan adopted in 2001 created a buffer zone between eastern and western Loudoun to protect our rural countryside and towns like Middleburg and Waterford. There are current drafts which recommend increasing the housing and density in the buffer zone threatening western Loudoun. The time is now to let the Loudoun Country Government know that we do not want an increase in development or density in the Transition Area! Sign and forward!!! Thanks for your support, Bridge

The feedback I have received from residents confirms that many share the concern regarding the preservation of our rural buffer. I am currently reviewing the latest drafts of the Comprehensive Plan to identify specific areas where density increases remain a threat. Your participation continues to provide the necessary weight to our inquiries with the county government.

almost every new home in Loudoun costs the county more than associated tax revenue. The only entity to profit from that new home is the developer and the only reason to move to Western Loudoun is the open country. Further development kills the entire reason for being here.
I do not want the countryside to change. I chose to live in western loudoun because it is peaceful. I work in the eastern part of Loudoun County and it is sprawling crowded and gross. I do not want my home area to look like that
I spent a lot of money to buy a house (on which I continue to pay a lot of taxes) west of the transition zone precisely because the TPA existed. It is completely unreasonable for the BOS to change the rules now.
The wealth of the county includes its food agriculture, not just vineyards and horse farms! Farmers markets and restaurants dependent upon local farmers—don’t trample on their livelihoods.
While we can appreciate the need to add more housing in Loudoun county, the smooth transition as you extend West is important to preserve. Without that we will negatively effect the Middleburg AVA and the hunt country trails and resources. Follow the plan, not the money!
Keep western Loudoun as it is! No increase in density where beauty exists where no other dense places can.
From this Master Garderner who has lived in Loudoun forever.. please keep Loudoun beautiful by protecting Western Loudoun. We do not get anything for our taxes, water, sewer, Internet etc. So what's stopping you from doing your part in protecting the open space?

The preservation of rural Loudoun, particularly to resist the assault on the transition area, and to reform our tax, land use and other programs to halt the relentless loss of western Loudoun's farmland. Down from 200,000 acres 1999 to 134,000 in 2012, and fewer todqy
