Good morning, Leesburg.

Work crews are preparing for a summer opening of Loudoun's first Shake Shack (replacing the former McDonald's site at Cascades Marketplace in Sterling).

Additional construction will continue in the coming weeks.

Loudoun County School Board Chair Melinda Mansfield announced she will not run for reelection and her term ends in January.

She led efforts to improve diabetes policy and reduce isolation practices while uniting educators and parents — her departure paves the way for new leadership on the board.

Over 40 residents attended a hearing Thursday night at the County Government Center to review Happy Paws K9's application to limit its kennel to 30 dogs on Oatlands Chase Place (a residential street); neighbors supported the service and raised traffic and noise concerns with a revised plan expected next year.
