Residents Invited to Provide Feedback for Town Plan Update
Community Ideas Exchange Workshop will be held on October 2, 2019 at Ida Lee
Park Recreation Center.
Leesburg, VA (September 18, 2019) – Hearing directly from residents and other stakeholders
about their ideas for the future of Leesburg is of vital importance to drafting a new Town Plan.
In order to garner public input, the Town’s consultant team will be holding a “Community Ideas
Exchange Workshop” on Wednesday, October 2, 2019, at the Ida Lee Park Recreation Center.
The workshop will consist of two sessions, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 6:30 p.m. to
8:30 p.m. Members of the public are invited to drop in at any time during either session.
Participants do not need to attend the entire session. There will be interactive stations on
various topics, such as transportation, housing, community facilities, and the environment.
Participants may engage in as few or as many of these topics as they wish. For more
information about the workshop, visit the project website at https://legacy.leesburgva.gov.
The Leesburg Town Plan is a policy document that guides the future development of the Town.
The current plan was adopted in June 2012. The Town has hired a team of consultants led by
Stantec Architecture to produce a complete rewrite of the Town Plan. The project is expected
to be completed in Summer 2020. For more information about the Town Plan Update, contact
project managers Scott Parker (sparker@leesburgva.gov or 703-771-2771) and Richard Klusek
(rklusek@leesburgva.gov or 703-771-2758).
