The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on the zoning changes that the Zoning Ordinance Action Group has proposed for the Floodplain Overlay District at 6 p.m. Wednesday, October 14, in the County Office Building.

See the July 19 post (“Alert: Tell Planning Commission to reject weakening of floodplain rules”), for detail on this important topic, affecting residents throughout the county.

Please plan to attend and speak out against these proposed changes, which would weaken protections for water quality and property owners, and force county taxpayers and private property owners to foot the bill for future flood damage to facilities and properties.
