Kudos to Middleburg's Mayor, Bridge Littleton, and his fellow mayors across the county, for their untiring and ongoing efforts to unite Loudoun County's seven towns - Hamilton, Hillsboro, Leesburg, Lovettsville, Middleburg, Purcellville and Round Hill - in a coordinated effort to "ground the county in cultural ways, drive public policy through advocacy and provide an array of business opportunities."

On Wednesday, March 13, 2019, from 8 AM to 10 AM all seven mayors will appear together at the Middleburg Community Center, 300 West Washington Street, as part of the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce's "Policy Makers" series, entitled, "The State of Loudoun's Towns"

The Mayors, according to the Chamber, promise to 1. Keep their individual remarks brief and 2. to engage in a free-wheeling, well-moderated panel discussion in which each will be able to "dive into a discussion of [the Chamber's] priorities of economic development, quality of life for Loudoun's workforce, and transportation."

We would hope that they also discuss the impact of those policies on the County's air, land and water; how County economic development policies can be inextricably linked to efforts to mitigate climate change, and how further meeting of this sort may be made accessible to the general public for less than the $60 to $80 price tag for a ticket.
