Residents Campaign Against ‘Concrete Villages’ At Tuscarora Crossing

Loudoun County:
“While Loudoun County planners continue to hammer out the details of the Tuscarora Crossing development plan, nearby residents are making a push for more residential and less commercial uses on the property.

The current plan proposed by Hunter Lee Center calls for a mixed-use development that would include residential and commercial uses on the 250-acre property adjacent to the W&OD Trail and the Kincaid Forest neighborhood southeast of Leesburg. The plan includes 576 single-family attached and detached units as well as a string of commercial units along Crosstrail Boulevard on the east and west side north of the W&OD Trail and on the east side of Crosstrail south of the trail. It is under review by the Loudoun County Planning Commission and will then go to the Board of Supervisors for review.

Mayor Kristen Umstattd and other Leesburg Town Council members are concerned that the application is primarily for residential uses and goes against town and county comprehensive plans that designate the site for business development.”
