With strong financial help from the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA), the Loudoun County Community Development Block Grant Program, and $800,000 from local donors, the Windy Hill Foundation has raised all the necessary funds to begin Levis Hill House, a 20-unit apartment for elderly residents to be constructed just west of the fire department in Middleburg.

An official ground breaking ceremony took place on July 27, 2007, at the building site. Actual construction is to begin at the end of August. The project is to be named in honor of long-time Middleburg resident, John Levis, who began serving on the Windy Hill Foundation Board of Directors in the early 1980s.

John Levis was remembered with great fondness by his life-long friend, Lang Washburn, who reminded all attending the ceremony of John's love of Middleburg and his very quiet but very generous support of the community.

Levis Hill House will serve those 62 and older who are capable of independent living but who have limited financial resources. There will be 14 single and 6 double units on three floors served by an elevator. Five units will be fully handicapped equipped, including roll-in showers, and all units will be specially designed to accommodate elderly residents.

Levis Hill House will also be a "Green Building" with durable brick and stucco construction, extra insulation, high efficiency lights and appliances, and low-water-using fixtures. It has been designed by local architect Bill Turnure to the highest standards set by Virginia's EarthCraft Program who will test and certify the high energy efficiency of the building.
