Good morning, Leesburg.

Volunteers from QTS Data Centers worked with Loudoun Hunger Relief today to pack 3,000 Thanksgiving dinner bags for county residents.

Schools requested 1,700 bags and the nonprofit expects to deliver 5,500 bags overall—marking the largest effort in the 10th annual event.

Work is getting ready to begin on a new Quickway Hibachi restaurant at Battlefield Shopping Center in Leesburg as crews paper over the windows of the space that formerly housed Kovi Asian Street Food Kitchen and Which Wich sandwich shop.

Quickway, which now has about 60 locations mainly in the Washington DC area, will offer Japanese cuisine and become the chain’s second restaurant in Loudoun County — next to Starbucks and Cold Stone Creamery.

Dulles Town Center announced it will launch DTC Expo in its former Lord & Taylor space, and the new event center will host trade shows, exhibitions and corporate functions in the near future.

The owners of Roots 657 announced that after 10 years in Lucketts they are pivoting the business + the brick-and-mortar restaurant will close in mid-December.

Historic diaries at the Donaldson Log Cabin in Leesburg offered a window into Loudoun's past when they were showcased at the town's First Friday celebration on Nov.

Dulles Town Center mall announced it will open the DTC Expo & Event Center in the former Lord & Taylor space in second quarter of 2026 to host trade shows, exhibitions, and community events.

The new expo follows the closure of the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, which made room for an IKEA store.

On Tuesday, the Loudoun County School Board discussed proposed changes to the school assignment policy that would revise the definition of overcrowding and alter the special permission process—requiring families to reapply if attendance zones change.

Some board members voiced concerns over rezoning and program expansions—issues that the board will review further at its next meeting.

LCPS and its employee union reached a tentative $188 million contract deal that marks the first contract in the district—both sides will now work to finalize the agreement.

A new report by Good Jobs First says Virginia gives big tax breaks to data centers — almost $1 billion in sales tax savings every year — but does not show which companies get them.

The report asks the state to reveal deal details and spending rules to show how these breaks impact public funds.

The Loudoun County School Board approved roof replacement projects for Eagle Ridge Middle School in Ashburn and Meadowland Elementary School in Sugarland Run Tuesday.

Eagle Ridge will begin a summer roof replacement with a lowest bid of $1,962,222 from Patuxent Roofing — Meadowland Elementary will also have its roof replaced next summer for $1,267,650 from CHU Contracting.
