Good morning, Leesburg.

Construction will begin on June 30 to replace the small playground at Ida Lee Park — the project aims to improve the park for local residents.

Organizers at Trevor Brown Memorial Park are finalizing the park ahead of a grand opening event scheduled for July 26 that will honor Brown’s birthday.

The event will bring the community together to celebrate his legacy.

Saahil Restaurant, a new Pakistani fine dining venue, will open at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 15 in the Dulles 28 Centre near Target and Wegmans—its menu includes Mulligatawny Shorba, Chicken Biryani, and Monkfish Tikka while it offers a discount for early reservations.

A man from Leesburg admitted he shot his brother last year — he then engaged in an 11-hour standoff with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

The Loudoun County Department of General Services is holding a public hearing today to consider an amendment to the Solid Waste Management Plan that will increase landfill capacity by 6,140,000 cubic yards as authorized in 2020.

The meeting is from 5 to 7 p.m. at 801 Sycolin Road in Leesburg—public comments may also be submitted online through July 11.

The Town of Leesburg installed an electric vehicle charging station on Lassiter Way with two converted parking spaces — one for standard and one for accessible use.

The level 2 charger costs 20 cents per kilowatt-hour and will support NACS in the future while parking fees apply after a 15-minute grace period.

On June 3, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors approved a $5.4 million loan to TM Associates, Inc. + The Knustson Companies to build 72 affordable rental units at Goose Creek Village West Apartments for residents earning less than 70% of the Area Median Income.

They also reauthorized loans for Old Arcola School Apartments, Tuscarora Crossing Apartments Phase 1, and Phase 2 with Wellington Development Partners, LLC + Cornerstones, Inc. to keep the projects affordable for 75 years.

The Virginia Department of Health confirmed a possible measles exposure at Dulles International Airport on June 19 when an international traveler from North Carolina was diagnosed — leading officials to contact passengers who may have been in the affected areas.

Health officials reported this is the state's third measles case in 2025 — prompting increased vigilance in tracking the illness.
