Acknowledgements Any time a report such as this is brought together it can only be accomplished with the generous help of others. Particularly because this was the first time to create a report to summarize the economic role of the towns; it required a lot of help to gather the data. I would like to thank those that helped to provide data:

From the office of the Commissioner of the Revenue, Bob Wertz and Martha Parks County Demographer, Jill Allmon From the town of Leesburg, Research Manager Betsy Fields and Economic Development

Manager Marantha Edwards From the Mapping and GIS Department, Chris Thomas From the Town of Hamilton , Bill Gallent From the Town of Lovettsville, Town Manager Keith Markel From the Town of Middleburg, Economic Development Coordinator Cindy Pearson From the Town of Purcellville, Assistant Town Manager Patrick Childs and Director of

Planning and Zoning Martha Semmes From the Town of Round Hill, Town Administrator John Barkley From the Town of Hillsboro, Mayor Vance

Introduction: This documented was created for the purpose of gathering into one place economic data relating to the seven incorporated towns of Loudoun County to demonstrate their role in the overall economy of the county. The report will provide citizens and decision makers with information to help better understand the towns as they develop, plan for the future, and identify trends. Greater value will come in future years as we compare the information over time. The data has been collected from different sources and, in all cases, has been cited. There is always a level of error and all efforts have been made to present the most accurate data possible from the various sources listed in the Acknowledgements and cited beneath the tables. Loudoun County has seven incorporated towns. Only Accomack County on the Eastern Shore of the Delmarva Peninsula, with 14, has more incorporated towns in the state of Virginia. Rockingham County has seven incorporated towns as well, though the town of Grottoes is partially in Rockingham and Augusta Counties. The seven towns are often viewed individually and distinctly, but when the data is collated, a picture begins to emerge which shows the significant contributions the towns make to the county at large. While the towns only account for a little over three percent of the land area, the facts reveal the following noteworthy points. The towns account for:

Twelve percent of taxable and exempt property Seventeen percent of the population Nearly forty percent of new business licenses issued in the County last year The total retail space in the towns is equivalent to double the square footage built at

Dulles Town Center The total office space is equivalent to Verizon Business corporate campus in Ashburn The towns increased the percentage of taxable property that they represent in Loudoun

by over three percent between 2009 and 2010 In the last year the towns increased their total tangible personal property tax while the

county collections decreased The towns clearly are hubs for economic activity, serve as great locations to start and grow a business, and offer quality of life amenities that people search out when choosing a location for their home or business. Any questions about the information in this document should be directed to the Loudoun County Department of Economic Development. It can be reached at 703-‐777-‐0426.

Source: County Assessor's Office & County Demographer The area the towns occupy does not typically change dramatically from year to year, however Middleburg did experience significant growth. With the annexation of land for the Salamander Resort, Middleburg grew in area from 393 acres to 662. The towns range in size from the smallest, Hillsboro, at less than one-‐tenth of a square mile, to Leesburg, at nearly 12.5 square miles. All together the towns account for 18 square miles of the county, representing about 3.5% of the total land area in the county.

Lovettsville experienced the greatest percentage increase of any town in population in the past year. Leesburg had the largest increase in real numbers at 589 though only a 2% increase.

The towns increased in population by 930 people in the past year, however they

account for a slightly less percentage of the County as a whole, falling from 17.43%

to 17.08% of the County.

Summary: The towns increased the percentage of taxable property that they represent in Loudoun from 12.87% to 13.29%. However, they still lost $115,874,618 in value, which suggests the rest of the County lost value at a faster rate than the towns. Annexation of additional parcels may also have contributed to the increase as a percentage of taxable property in the County that the towns represent. While the taxable and exempt parcels represent a total picture, an examination of the taxable parcels alone is useful to understand the impact the towns have on the current, taxable real property.

Source: Loudoun County 2009/2010 Assessment Summary

Summary: This information tells a similar story as the previous table; however it includes taxable and exempt property, thus reflecting a more complete picture of the property in the towns. The towns increased their percentage from 11.83% to 12.15% though still losing over $134 million in value.

This data suggests that the property in the towns held their value better than the

rest of the County.

Summary: The information in this chart is fairly dramatic when compared with the previous year. This information shows the Tangible Revenue collected by the county from businesses located in the towns. In the last year the town increased their total percentage of Tangible Revenue from 3.88% to 5.03% which equaled an increase of $66,574. In the same period the County decreased their Tangible Revenue by almost $12.5 million. This illustrates that towns have an increased role as a location for business compared to the rest of the County.

Summary: In 2010, the number of parcels in the seven towns was 19,027 which represents fourteen percent of the total parcels in the county. It is logical that there would be a higher percentage of parcels in the towns than the area they occupy (3.49%) because they have many, smaller parcels for homes and businesses. There are a total of 54 more Taxable and Exempt Parcels in the towns from the previous year.

Fact: The seven towns had a greater increase in the number of business licenses issued than the entire rest of the County combined at 443 to 312. They also increased their share of overall business licenses in the County from 17.96% to 19.3%,

further demonstrating the towns to be hotspots for entrepreneurship and business growth.

Fact: When the square footage of retail space in the towns is combined, it is equivalent to double the square footage built at Dulles Town Center, while the total office

space is equivalent to Verizon Business corporate campus in Ashburn.

Table 10:

*Note: The methodology and categories for calculating the square footage of existing space was changed from the previous year for accuracy and ease of replication in future years. Therefore, it is not possible to make a comparison to the previous year.

Table 13:

Table 14: Utility Expenses of Towns

In many areas, the towns provide services to their residents, offloading the additional cost burden from the county. This includes, but is not limited to, separate police services in Leesburg, Middleburg and

Purcellville. The costs of these services by the towns can be viewed as savings to the county.

Several of the towns have reached, or will soon reach, full build-‐out. For further growth, land within the town would have to be subdivided, rezoned, or additional land annexed In the past years, there has been a significant reduction in the number of residential units constructed in the towns, reflecting the impact of the recession and local housing bubble corrections.
