Though it was stated that the water supply is safe for those in the local community, staff was directed to look at long-term options for both of the local communities, separately and combined.

The Town Council heard more about the Rt. 7 climbing lane and Sycolin Road bypass during a work session Monday night.
The Town Council met with members of VDOT Monday evening to go over plans for a Route 7 climbing lane and operational improvements.

Town Council discussed on Monday using eminent domain to acquire and destroy or repair older buildings that are eyesores or safety threats.
In its efforts to make Leesburg more attractive, the Town Council might now begin targeting “spot blight”: buildings that are damaged to the point of being eyesores or safety hazards. On Monday the council discussed their legal options to combat spot blight. “The state code does give any locality the authority to acquire by eminent domain these properties to demolish or repair,” Town Attorney Jeanette Irby said. There will also be times when the town will need to ask for county resources to tackle spot blight work, she added. Eminent domain means that the town must purchase the property, but does not need the owner’s consent to do so. Irby said that the town would pay “fair market value” for any pieces of property it acquired through …
