New Site Shows Loudoun County Development

The Piedmont Environmental Council launched a new web site today, LocalDecisions.org, which allows users to see approved and proposed development and projects in Loudoun County. Just enter an address, city or zip code within Loudoun County and choose what type of development you're looking for. The map will show you where that type of development is going on and whether it's already been approved or proposed.

You can also click on the icon for more information such as where an un-built development stands in the approval process, how many units are planned, a structure's square footage and the parcel's identification number(s).

"Providing residents with the opportunity to see what is happening in their neighborhoods is critical to an informed citizenry," said PEC president Christopher G. Miller in a released statement. "This innovative tool will give folks basic information and help link citizens to their elected officials so they can quickly ask questions and/or express concerns."

This site could definitely come in handy in the decision making process for those moving to or within Loudoun County as well as current residents. Along with LocalDecisions.org, you want to check out ZipSkinny and WalkScore, which give you demographics by zip code and proximity to amenities.
