From the Office of the Ashburn Supervisor
Good Evening Ashburn,

We wanted to take a moment to share an exciting update regarding our newsletter format. Starting this month, we are introducing another new addition to our newsletter lineup - the “Mid-Month Flyer”. In response to your feedback, we have recognized the need for shorter, more concise newsletters that deliver timely updates and highlights. Rest assured; our longer Newsletter will still be sent out at the end of each month.

Our Mid-Month Flyer will be a condensed version of our regular newsletters, focusing on the most important news and upcoming events. By providing you with this additional communication, we aim to keep you informed and engaged throughout the month.
 
Thank you for being a part of our community. As always, your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, so please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know your thoughts.

Warm regards,

Joel Gicker

Proposed Transmission Line Projects
Proposed Transmission Line Project: Aspen to Golden
We will continue to provide updates about this proposal as we become aware of new information. Here are the latest details:

Dominion Energy has developed proposals for a project named “Aspen to Golden,” a potential transmission route that calls for the construction of new transmission lines that will run from a future Leesburg substation (Aspen) to a future Ashburn substation, near Loudoun County Parkway (Golden). During their virtual and in-person meetings on January 9th and January 11th, Dominion announced updated proposed routes along Route 7 and Loudoun County Parkway. To view a picture of the proposed routes for Aspen to Golden, click here. For an interactive map of the proposed routes, click here and click "Continue as guest".

Next Steps:
 
Dominion Energy is required by law to provide electricity to its customers and is responsible for submitting potential transmission routes to the SCC, as well as engaging with the community for feedback on their proposals. The State Corporation Commission (SCC) is the legal authority in Virginia that makes the final routing decisions for all transmission routes. In addition, the SCC will hold public hearings for those proposals, during which county officials, local organizations and members of the public will be able to offer comments.
 
While the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors has no formal role in the approval process, the county will serve as a “referral agency” for any proposals within the county. This includes a review by Loudoun County to evaluate proposals for conformance with the land use, environmental and heritage resources policies of the Loudoun County 2019 Comprehensive Plan.

Supervisor Turner continues to encourage his constituents to speak out against powerlines on Route 7 at public input sessions during BOS Business Meetings. For BOS meeting schedules and information about signing up to speak at BOS Business Meetings, please click here. Additionally, Supervisor Turner encourages residents who are opposed to this project to consider signing this petition from the Lansdowne Conservancy to oppose towers on Route 7.

Stay Informed

We understand that our community is going to have a lot of questions, especially as this process moves forward. We encourage you to stay informed about the progress of this project.

Loudoun County invites members of the public to attend a “pardon our dust” meeting for the Route 50 and Trailhead Drive Roundabout on Thursday, January 18, 2024, 6:30 – 7:30 p.m., at Arcola Elementary School, 41740 Tall Cedars Parkway, Aldie. At this meeting, the public will receive a broad overview of the project timeline and learn about the stages of construction. 

This project will construct a roundabout at the intersection of Route 50 and Trailhead Drive (Route 3395) in Aldie. The traffic calming and congestion mitigation measures at this intersection include two westbound lanes to provide for separate left turn and through/right turn lanes. The northbound approach from Trailhead Drive will include a bypass lane to eastbound Route 50.

Originally planned in the early 2000s, the project represents the last major element of the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Route 50 Traffic Calming Corridor to be constructed. Completed projects along this corridor include the Gilberts Corner roundabouts, and the traffic calming elements in the village of Aldie, the Town of Middleburg and the village of Upperville.

On Friday, December 29, 2023, we had the honor of celebrating twenty-eight Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) who graduated from Loudoun County Fire and Rescue’s 44th recruit class in an official ceremony at Heritage High School in Leesburg. 

The recruits, their friends and family, along with members of Fire and Rescue leadership, Loudoun County administration and the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors looked on as Leesburg District Supervisor Kristen Umstattd swore in the recruits as the newest members of the Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System (LC-CFRS). 

Deputy Chief Nicole Pickrell emceed the event and in her opening remarks, commended the recruits for their hard work and commitment during the 26-week recruit program. “We are here today to celebrate the achievements of these twenty-eight men and woman who have successfully completed recruit school,” said Deputy Chief Pickrell. “Along the way, they have endured hundreds of hours of physical training, rigorous academic requirements and challenging practical evolutions, not to mention the time spent away from their family and friends studying and preparing themselves for class.” 

In remarks by Board of Supervisor Chair Phyllis Randall, the recruits were praised for their hard work and sacrifice and reminded that mental health and wellness are critical aspects of public safety that we should always be mindful of. 

Assistant Chief James Williams addressed the audience on behalf of LC-CFRS, thanking not only the recruits for their dedication and determination, but also the Board of Supervisors, County administration, and Loudoun community for their support of the Fire and Rescue system. As Recruit Class 44 is about to embark on their journey in operations, Chief Williams shared a few thoughts and perspectives with the graduates. “When you come to work each day, it’s imperative that you show up as the very best version of you as possible, and be ready to perform,” said Chief Williams. “Our community expects you to be the best in their time of need, and your crew is relying on you to perform to the very best of your ability each and every day you come to work. Your lives and their lives depend on that.” 

Special recognition went to Firefighter/EMT Bradley Smith who was designated Top Recruit for Class 44. Firefighter Smith showed exemplary leadership and dedication throughout the challenging program, earning the Top Recruit Award. 

Also recognized was Firefighter/EMT Carlos Carrasco, who received the Lt. Alex J. Keepers Memorial Award. The Lt. Alex J. Keepers Award was established to memorialize Lt. Keepers, who was tragically killed in a motor vehicle accident on his way to work on December 31, 2007, and is awarded to the recruit who made outstanding improvements throughout the recruit academy. Firefighter Carrasco, like Lt. Keepers, embodies a character that never quit and pushed through adversity. 

This year, a third award was added to Recruit Training and recognizes a recruit who has demonstrated commitment and dedication to their overall health and physical fitness while completing recruit school. Firefighter/EMT John Larsen was awarded the Recruit Physical Fitness Award and personifies the values of Recruit Training, as well as embodies the vision of Health and Wellness. These graduating recruits completed an extensive recruit academy that incorporated countless hours of emergency medical technician and firefighting training into a 26-week program. 

Congratulations to the following personnel as they begin their careers as Loudoun County Firefighter/EMTs, assigned to various fire and rescue stations throughout the County: 

Zachary Adolphi, Corey Andrew, Alexander Baker, Gavin Bayfield, Elisha Bhatti, Josiah Bloom, Carlos Carrasco, Nathan Chaput, Ricardo Flores, Cory Giffin, Charles Green, Logan Hall, Kevin Hayes, Brodi Hicks, Alexander Kang, John Larsen, Robert Lyons, Michael Manning, Andrew Muehr, Brian O’Mara, Luis Perez, Michael Simms, Trevor Simpson, Bradley Smith, Hanna Taranto, Caleb Tucker, Allen Wanser, Nicholas Wivell

Loudoun Commissioner of the Revenue Robert S. Wertz Jr. has recently mailed notification of 2024 personal property filing requirements to all owners of automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, campers, trailers, boats, motorhomes, aircraft, and mobile homes currently on the county’s tax rolls. Residents will soon begin receiving notices in the mail with an account number and instructions that they will use to review and update their personal property tax records for the 2024 tax year. While information is regularly received from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), this annual online process allows citizens to review and update information on the more than 370,000 vehicles now located in the county. Citizens can access their 2024 personal property information online at loudoun.gov/efile, utilizing their social security or tax identification number, mailing address ZIP code and unique account number, which is displayed on the notice. Residents may receive more than one notice depending on how their property is owned or registered.

Residents should report corrections, an address change, the sale or disposal of a vehicle, or unusually high mileage as well as unrepaired body damage or serious mechanical defect since these factors may affect the property’s valuation or the number of months a vehicle is taxed in the county. The Commissioner of the Revenue requests that all changes be submitted by February 1, 2024, to assist in establishing accurate assessments for the 2024 tax year.

Motorcycles with high mileage may be eligible for an assessment reduction. Filing forms have been mailed to motorcycle owners currently on Loudoun County’s tax rolls so that they may report the motorcycle’s mileage as of January 1, 2024. A high mileage chart is available online at loudoun.gov/vehicle-mileage

To avoid late filing penalties, newly acquired vehicles or those recently entering Loudoun County must be reported to the Commissioner of the Revenue within 60 days of purchase or move to Loudoun County or one of Loudoun County’s incorporated towns. Owners of vehicles in the county are subject to taxes beginning on the date the vehicle came to Loudoun regardless of when it is registered with the DMV or whether it displays out-of-state license plates. 

Owners of vehicles displaying out-of-state license plates who are not otherwise exempt from obtaining Virginia license plates will be charged an additional annual license fee of $100. A $250 penalty may also be imposed on owners of vehicles that are not registered with DMV within 60 days of the owner’s having established residency in Virginia.

Military service members residing in Loudoun County who have separated from military service and were receiving a tax exemption due to claiming a domicile outside of Virginia should contact the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office to report their change in active-duty status so their exemption can be removed.

The Commissioner of the Revenue encourages residents to connect with the office virtually as most transactions can be completed online. For more information or filing assistance, visit loudoun.gov/cor or contact the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue by email or call 703-777-0260. Regular office hours are weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Any such penalty, when assessed, will become part of the tax with interest accruing on both the tax and penalty at a rate of 10% annually. Personal property taxes remaining unpaid after 60 calendar days from the original due date will incur an additional 15% penalty.
