Good morning, Leesburg.

The Loudoun County government surplus auction in Leesburg features items for families including wooden playhouses, toy trucks, and seesaws along with office furniture and storage boxes.

Bidding ends at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 12 — items must be picked up by appointment at 14 Cardinal Park Drive.

Construction crews have been hired to prepare the vacant lot at 44970 Russell Branch Parkway for Xavo Motor Club near Topgolf and XCAL, a 128,000 sqft center featuring a restaurant, theater, auto showroom, storage garages, and lounge.

Work is set to begin this summer (designed by Architecture, Incorporated).

The Loudoun Food Provider Group met with county partners — including community organizations — to coordinate a countywide response to rising food insecurity.

The group will work to expand food access for local families.

Leesburg Economic Development reported increased out-of-county visits and low commercial vacancies in 2025 — signs of a healthy local business climate.

Director Russel Seymour said improved data tracking helped target marketing and support growing demand for flex space.

On Monday, Feb. 9, LCPS Superintendent Aaron Spence presented the fiscal year 2027 budget to the Board of Supervisors featuring nearly $2.1 billion in funding and a $105 million local tax increase.

Supervisors questioned teacher staffing and enrollment trends and will review further proposals in upcoming work sessions.

The Loudoun Education Foundation presented its annual report to the School Board Tuesday evening, reporting $3.7 million raised in 2025, $2 million spent on student programs, nearly 47,500 weekend meals provided + $200,000 in teacher support grants.

Executive Director Danielle Nadler said collaboration with LCPS underpins success.

On Feb. 9, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors was briefed on the school division's budget and a proposal to station deputies at elementary schools (a measure aimed at enhancing campus security).

They will review the details in upcoming meetings.

On Monday, LCPS Superintendent Aaron Spence said during a budget hearing that the division was told a grant would not be renewed due to an attestation on non-citizen students, but a Department of Education spokesperson later said no funding was withheld (calling the report fake news).

Local data from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office shows that overdoses dropped 48% in 2025 with 47 cases — 11 fatal — compared to 91 cases and 14 fatal cases in 2024.
