Reports, correspondence, and plans concerning Loudoun Station, a mixed-use, transit-oriented development planned for an area
near a proposed Washington Metropolitan Area Transit station in Loudoun County, Virginia.
Loudoun Station is a planned mixed use development in Loudoun County that encompasses retail, commercial, and residential
buildings as well as transit links to the planned WMATA Silver Line, bus, and other forms of public transportation. Ground
breaking for the development commenced on April 20th 2011, though issues of planning and zoning as detailed in the collection
were discussed between 2002 and 2003. Loudoun Station is included in phase two of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
Authority's Silver Line project, which is scheduled to be completed in 2016.
The Loudoun Station collection contains numerous documents relating to the rezoning of area in Loudoun County for the purpose
of building a "mixed-use, transit-oriented development" to be linked to the Washington Metro's planned silver line. The documents
include correspondence, memorandums, proposals and studies relating to the proposed station. The documents are mostly authored
by the Department of Building and Development and the development company Comstock Partners. The documents in this collection
thoroughly detail the process of building Loudoun Station. Included are reports on design guidelines and standards, demographics,
traffic impact, fiscal impact and other issues. Box 6 of the collection contains the final blueprints and design propositions
for Loudoun Station.
Box 6 contains two blue prints for the proposed zoning modifications referenced in the majority of the Loudoun Station documents.
Also included are four bound presentation booklets with illustrative plans of the station and surrounding area.
