I'm saddened to report the passing today of Eli Linden, a 100-yr. old WWII veteran whose birthday we celebrated last April. Rest in peace, Eli...
We lost our hero and family Patriarch today as our father Eli passed away this morning. Husband, father, father in law, great grandfather and uncle and one helluva guy with a wicked sense of humor who treated everyone with respect and gratitude. If you met him, you immediately liked him and his warm smile.
Dad was an artist (his acrylic paintings hung in many of our homes), loved classical music, an avid Big Blue Giants fan, loved Sinatra and Bennett and he was a key component of the Greatest Generation.
A former POW interred in a German camp, recipient of the Purple Heart, Bronze Star and French Legion of Honor, he is a father whose worth can never be told.
There's a place in our hearts no one can fill. We miss you Dad and always will. The loss of a father, no matter how old you are, changes your life forever, you never really get over the loss, you learn to live with the loss and he is never far from your thoughts.
Hey Dad. I’m listening to Ol’ Blue Eyes right now doing My Way, just as you did in life.

What a terrific kickoff for yesterday! This program, fully supported and funded by the Board of Supervisors, will create a standing infrastructure of continuing support for our county's 14,000 businesses, 87% of which have fewer than 20 employees. Fully 80% of small businesses fail within the first year, and this program--with it's fantastic theme of "Start, Scale, Soar!"--is designed to nurture and sustain our small businesses, particularly women- and minority-owned small businesses. Congratulations Buddy Rizer and the entire Department of Economic Development for this fantastic launch!
Loudoun Economic Development kicked off Small Business week Monday by introducing a new program to help entrepreneurs get started: Launch Loudoun.
This is the first time since we began talking about this issue the FAA has even spoken. This is an easy fix. We've consciously kept the land on the extended centerline of runway 30 free of houses for 30 years. Dulles already has a Capitol One departure procedure that avoids most houses. Use it!
Loudoun County and Dulles International Airport have coexisted for more than six decades. But in response to complaints about airplane noise from residents who chose to move to neighborhoods immediately
Really excited to attend the traditional "topping off" ceremony of the new Ashburn Recreation and Community Center yesterday!

Over 50 people gathered at the construction site of Ashburn’s future recreation and community center on Tuesday for a topping-out ceremony marking a major construction milestone.

At our last Board meeting, the Supervisors voted to send a letter and some tough questions to DEQ about this poorly planned, ill-advised variance that would allow data centers to run their diesel backup generators 24/7 during times of peak need. DEQ restricted the variance to just Loudoun County. Bad idea, and we told them so, along with hundreds of other citizens and groups. We won!
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has withdrawn a proposal to lift limits on Loudoun data center generator usage, the agency announced Wednesday.
