Past County Leaders Back Metro

As deadline nears, more weigh in with the hope of influencing board on Silver Line vote.

Seven former members of the Loudoun Board of Supervisors and the Loudoun County School Board signed a letter Monday encouraging the current board to participate in the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project:

Dear Members of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors,

Loudoun County has waited decades for Metro. It is time for that wait to end.

Generations of business and regional planning decisions have been based on the goal of bringing Metro access to Dulles Airport and into Eastern Loudoun. Numerous government entities and hundreds of commercial businesses have spent thousands of hours and countless resources considering and deciding how best to organize our community around that outcome. And the people of Loudoun County, ourselves included, have broadly and loudly expressed our expectation that you will listen to your constituents and move forward with bringing Metro to Loudoun County.

Enough waiting. Enough stalling. Bring Metro to Loudoun now.
