📰 News we're reading

• LCSO Launches Proactive E-Bike Safety Program (patch.com) — Ashburn residents concerned about risky e-bike riding now have a dedicated way to report problems through the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office online traffic complaint form. School Resource Officers will follow up on complaints over the summer, visiting homes to educate juveniles and parents about Virginia e-bike laws and safe riding. The initiative aims to prevent serious injuries by increasing patrols at trouble spots and emphasizing education over punishment.    

• General Assembly to consider comprehensive study on data centers (annandaletoday.com) — Ashburn’s massive data center corridor is at the heart of a Richmond budget fight over whether those facilities should keep receiving big sales tax breaks without stricter environmental rules. Lawmakers now propose a commission to study the industry’s financial, energy, and community impacts, with recommendations due before the 2027 General Assembly. The outcome could shape future taxes, power demands, and local revenues tied to Ashburn’s data centers.    

• Yorktown girls soccer team falls just short of state crown, closing stellar season (arlnow.com) — Ashburn hosted the Class 6 state girls soccer final on June 13, where Independence edged Yorktown 1-0 with a late goal to claim the title on its home field. Yorktown capped a standout 19-2-1 season, reaching three postseason finals and earning multiple shutouts and contributions from 16 different goal scorers. The match showcased top-tier high school soccer competition for local fans.
