[JYO] Leesburg Executive Airport Land Use Issues

There is an important Public Hearing being held on Tuesday, May 10th at  7:30 
pm. in the Leesburg Town Hall to hear input about the  
developer-initiated proposals in the area surrounding Leesburg's airport.  
Specifically, the Town Council is soliciting public input to put together their 
 
response to Loudoun County regarding Creekside LLC's application to 'swap' 
Phil  Bolen Park with land owned by the developer.  In return for the swap, the 
 
developer is offering to build the park at his expense, and is offering some  
amount (in the millions of dollars) of road construction.

The Airport  Commission firmly opposes this land swap, as it puts thousands 
of houses  directly across the street from the south end of the runway.  The 
developer  was completely unaware of the traffic pattern at Leesburg, and was 
unaware that  Leesburg intends to extend the runway another 500' south in just 
a 
few  years.

Anyone interested in speaking their piece is invited.  I'm  going to be there 
to voice my opposition to further residential encroachment; I  hope you are 
too.

Thanks,
