Loudoun County to Host Public Meetings to Inform Community Arts Center Planning Study

The Loudoun County Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure (DTCI) is hosting a series of public meetings to gather the community's preferences for a potential community arts facility in the eastern part of the county. This input from county residents will be used to guide future programmatic requirements for a potential community arts center as part of the Eastern Loudoun Community Arts Center Planning Study.

DTCI has scheduled several opportunities for the public to provide input on proposed facility types and amenities to inform the study. Four meetings will be held in eastern Loudoun County. The information presented at each meeting will be the same.

• Thursday, October 24, 2024, 6:00 p.m., Loudoun County Government Center, 1 Harrison St., Leesburg. Dulles Room
• Tuesday, October 29, 2024, 6:30 p.m., Ashburn Library, 43316 Hay Road, Ashburn, Rooms B & C
• Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 6:30 p.m., Steuart W. Weller Elementary School, 20700 Marblehead Drive, Ashburn, Cafeteria
• Thursday, November 14, 2024, 6:00 p.m., Sterling Middle School, 201 W. Holly Ave., Sterling, Cafeteria

The Eastern Loudoun Community Arts Center Planning Study is being conducted in coordination with the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services' current initiative to develop a Comprehensive Arts Plan. This separate initiative will create a vision for the arts in Loudoun County and develop a clear set of goals and strategies regarding the development of public support of the arts that recognize and highlight the county's unique attributes.
