After months of debate, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors (LCBOS) is set to vote on adopting a Limestone Overlay District (LOD) intended to alter the way property owners use their land on over 14,000 areas north and south of Leesburg.  The proposed regulations  prohibit "land disturbing activities" and require property owners to conduct expensive geological studies before constructing barns, additions, swimming pools or large gardens.

On Tuesday, July 21st, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors (LCBOS) voted to extend a program  that authorizes a volunteer sign collection group to remove illegally placed signs within the Commonwealth of Virginia's right-of-ways located in the County.  The Code of Virginia (33.1-373; 33.1-375) prohibits advertising within the limit of any highway, which includes the roadway, shoulders and median strips.  Penalties for placing illegal signs can include removal of advertisement, fines and paying for the cost of removal.
