Leesburg, VA (May 21, 2020) – A virtual public meeting regarding the Gateway District Project
will be held on Wednesday, May 27, beginning at 6 p.m. The meeting will be broadcast on the
town’s local government access cable TV channels (Xfinity Channel 67 and FiOS Channel 35) and

The new Gateway District zoning overlay will replace the current H-2 Historic Corridor

zoning ordinance amendments, design guidelines, and a streetscape plan. This meeting will
cover the first of those three phases.
During the meeting, staff will provide a presentation to explain the project and answer
questions from the public. Members of the public may submit questions in advance of the
meeting or may participate in the live meeting via video or telephone conference. Live
participants will be able to ask their questions during the question and answer portion of the
meeting. All questions received in advance will be answered prior to taking live questions.
