On 12 June, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors will take their final vote on the Prime Agricultural Soil and Cluster Subdivision Ordinance Amendment (ZOAM). The rewrite of this ordinance is four years in the making, and its zoning updates are badly needed to protect Loudoun’s best farming soils from sprawling development. As written, the proposed amendment would ensure prime soils are preserved when development happens, without limiting a developer’s ability to subdivide or change the number of lots on a property. In this way, it is not a down-zoning.

Please come out to support this crucial work to preserve some of the best agricultural soils in the nation.
