New Site Offers Updates on Dulles Rail

The Rail To Loudoun Coalition, led by the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce, announced on Wednesday the launch of www.railtoloudoun.com a site created to provide accurate, up to date information on the numerous economic and quality of life benefits that the Dulles Corridor Rail Project will create.

The chamber has long been a staunch advocate for the Dulles Corridor Rail Project and is the organizing force behind The Rail To Loudoun Coalition, a partnership of Northern Virginia's leading business organizations and companies that are working to support the project's completion.

"The Dulles Corridor Rail Project is the most important transportation infrastructure project in Loudoun County since the construction of Washington Dulles International Airport a half century ago," said President of the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce Tony Howard. "Just as the airport has, the Dulles Rail Project will transform our community by creating many new, high paying jobs, better transportation choices and a more diversified tax base to lessen the burden on homeowners and businesses."
 
The new web site contains important, verified facts on the proven benefits of the Dulles Rail project to Loudoun County. It also contains letters, public testimony and endorsements for the project from Loudoun County's leading business and non-profit leaders and organizations. 

The site also lists many of the important upcoming meetings by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors and others where advocates for Dulles Rail can offer their support. There are also links to the contact information for Loudoun's elected leaders and the latest news on the progress of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project.

"The Loudoun business community stands firmly behind the Dulles Corridor Rail Project," Howard said. "The web site provides the project's backers the information they can use to provide our Board of Supervisors with the support they need to approve this project."
