Purcellville, VA — Residents opposing the proposed Valley Commerce Center rezoning application are being urged to attend the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Business Meeting on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 4:00 PM at the Loudoun County Government Center, 1 Harrison St. SE, Leesburg, VA 20175.

The June 2nd meeting is expected to be the final opportunity for residents to publicly speak before the Board of Supervisors votes on the controversial rezoning application. Opponents say the proposed industrial development conflicts with the Loudoun County Comprehensive Plan and threatens the rural character of Western Loudoun County.

The proposed Valley Commerce Center would allow approximately one million square feet of industrial development in Western Loudoun County and would be serviced by well water, raising concerns among residents about potential impacts on groundwater resources and nearby private wells.

Community members believe the upcoming vote could be extremely close and are encouraging residents throughout Loudoun County to attend and make their voices heard.

Particular attention is being focused on Catoctin District Supervisor Caleb A. Kershner, whose vote is viewed as critical to the outcome. Residents note that, historically, many members of the Board of Supervisors give significant weight to the position of the Supervisor representing the district directly affected by a rezoning application. Because the Valley Commerce Center proposal is located in the Catoctin District, opponents believe Supervisor Kershner’s leadership on this issue could heavily influence the final vote.

“This may be the last chance for residents to stand up and defend the integrity of Western Loudoun and the Comprehensive Plan,” said community advocate Daniel Carvill. “The Board should not reward speculative industrial rezoning efforts that attempt to bypass the intent of the Loudoun County Comprehensive Plan. Western Loudoun’s rural communities were never intended to become targets for large-scale industrial expansion simply because land may be less expensive. We need residents to show up, speak out, and remind the Board that the Comprehensive Plan exists to guide responsible growth, preserve rural character, and protect our communities from inappropriate industrial development.”

Residents who cannot attend the meeting in person are encouraged to immediately contact Catoctin District Supervisor Caleb A. Kershner and respectfully ask him to uphold the integrity of the Loudoun County Comprehensive Plan by opposing the Valley Commerce Center rezoning application.

Opponents argue that approving the Valley Commerce Center rezoning application would set a dangerous precedent for future industrial encroachment into Western Loudoun County and undermine years of planning intended to preserve the area’s rural heritage, environment, and quality of life.
