BUDGET OVERVIEW
APPROPRIATED FUNDS The FY 2025 Adopted Budget appropriates revenue and expenditure authority in many different types of funds. The county’s main operating fund, the General Fund, totals $2.7 billion for FY 2025. The General Fund collects the county’s most prevalent revenue sources, including real and personal property tax, sales tax, and general fines and user fees.

Volunteers help clean up local streams and build trails in Loudoun.
The widening of Route 15 will ease congestion and improve safety.
Linear Parks and Trails Loudoun County residents are gaining access to more trails as work continues on developing an interconnected, countywide network of parks and trails. Elements of the Linear Parks and Trails (LPAT) Signature Project include constructing pedestrian bridges over streams, creating parking and access points for trailheads, a kayak/canoe launch in Goose Creek and wayfinding signage for connectivity to regional trail networks. The program also has a volunteer component: Trail Rangers build trails and monitor conditions on existing trails. They also collect useful information from hikers, bikers and equestrians who are regular users of Loudoun’s trails. COUNTY CIP PROJECTS BY 2022 ELECTION DISTRICT The list below demonstrates the spread of both county capital projects and county-supported or managed transportation projects funded in the six-year funding plan across the county’s Election Districts. Excluded from this list are projects that either do not have a location by their nature; those that fund the procurement of large assets, such as the fire apparatus and transit bus projects; or school projects.
Route 15 Widening The widening of Route 15 North from two to four lanes from Leesburg to the Maryland state line is one of many projects undertaken by Loudoun County to help ease traffic congestion and improve safety for residents and commuters. The first phase of the project includes improvements between Battlefield Parkway and Whites Ferry Road. The design process recognizes the historical and cultural significance of Route 15 and follows the Journey Through Hallowed Ground guidelines where possible.

Communications Specialists The addition of two communications specialists dedicated to departments that provide health and human services will enhance the ability of the Office of Public Affairs and Communications to reach key populations who have been underserved. The communications specialists will help develop strategic communications for specific audiences delivered through multiple communications channels and will provide increased opportunities for engagement and community involvement. The new positions will also help meet an increased workload following the transition of the Health Department from a state to a county agency. Assistant Registrar As the population of Loudoun County continues to grow, so does the number of registered voters. Officials anticipate that by the November 2024 general election, there will be more than 300,000 registered voters in more than 100 precincts. In addition, there has been a significant increase in the number of voters in Loudoun County who choose to cast their ballots early, either in person or by mail. The addition of an assistant registrar in the Office of Elections and Voter Registration will help meet the demands of the increased workload and ensure that the electoral process is conducted safely, securely and efficiently.
Additional communications professionals will support outreach efforts of health and human services departments.
INTERVIEW WITH | Ricky Keech | Deputy Director, Office of Elections and Voter Registration. The FY 2025 budget includes the addition of an assistant registrar in the Office of Elections and Voter Registration. How will the addition of an assistant registrar help serve the voters of Loudoun County? Has the increasing popularity of early voting affected the workload of your office?
The pre-election day voting increases the workload on office staff as duties shift to the office from the voting precincts on election day. We have to be prepared to efficiently serve the voters via whichever manner they choose to vote. What impact will this additional position have on the upcoming election in November? The new assistant registrar will provide customer service, process applications, perform list maintenance and assist with training and work supervision of the temporary seasonal assistant registrars hired for each election. Presidential election years historically have high voter turnouts, so it’s critical that our teams are well trained.
The addition of this position benefits all registered voters, officeholders and candidates because it will help ensure we are able to serve our growing population with accuracy and efficiency. One of the primary responsibilities of our front office team is list maintenance, which is the process of keeping the voter rolls updated. The new assistant registrar will help us meet the increased workload and ensure that the electoral process is conducted safely, securely and efficiently.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Keeping Loudoun safe.
Veterinary Services Team With a significant increase in the number of surrendered pets in the past year, the addition of a second veterinarian and two veterinary technicians will allow the Department of Animal Services to meet rising service demands. Animals at the shelter in need of medical treatment will be processed more quickly, which will allow them to be available for adoption as soon as possible. Also, the county will be able to provide more low-cost veterinary programs not only at the Animal Shelter but also in the community through the mobile outreach program.
Behavioral Health Coordinator The position of behavioral health coordinator in the Sheriff’s Office will oversee the office’s behavioral health program for sworn and civilian members of the department. Modeled after the Combined Fire and Rescue System’s behavioral health coordinator, this position will help further a culture of wellness and inclusiveness by recognizing that mental health needs vary among individuals. In turn, the program is expected to positively impact employee satisfaction, retention and service delivery to the community. The FY 2025 budget includes additional positions to support Public Safety and Judicial Administration, including bolstering mental health and wellness resources and increasing the capacity for veterinary services at the Animal Shelter.
Additional veterinary personnel will help the county meet increased demand for services.

the shift work and the schedule and how that affects not just them themselves – such as their ability to sleep and engage in self-care – but also how that affects their social life, their family life, all of the other things that are so important to keep us healthy. Has there been a reduction in the stigma that is sometimes attached to public safety personnel seeking treatment for mental health issues? In the time that I have been with Fire and Rescue, I’ve seen a significant reduction of the stigma. In fact, we are adding a second person to meet our needs because we are breaking down those barriers. My hope is that with the new coordinator in the Sheriff’s Office, we will be able to help break down those barriers more because the stigma is historically something that has been an issue with public safety.
The FY 2025 budget adds the position of behavioral health coordinator in the Sheriff’s Office and is modeled after Moore’s position. What are some of the things you do as Behavioral Health Coordinator for the Combined Fire and Rescue System? The primary role of what I do is to promote health, wellness and resilience for both career and volunteer personnel. I provide services such as education and behavioral health coordination as well as oversee the Peer Support and Chaplains programs. What are some of the mental health challenges that first responders experience as a result of their job? A first responder is potentially repeatedly exposed to something traumatic. There is also

INTERVIEW WITH | George Khan | Assistant Director, Health Department.
The FY 2025 budget includes the addition of a team of environmental health specialists in the Health Department. How would you describe the role of Environmental Health in the context of the Health Department? In Environmental Health, we strive to protect people. We are really people focused. We want to make sure the food you eat is safe and the water you drink is safe and that sewage is disposed of safely and that if you come into contact with wildlife, rabies is not a concern. What will the new Environmental Health team be doing? The seven positions will be in the Consumer Services Division, focusing on food safety,
which includes inspections of restaurants, hotels, school cafeterias and temporary events. They will also be focused on recreational water safety – making sure pools are safe. We also play a role in nuisance complaints and respond to a lot of those. We also play a role in outbreaks of foodborne illnesses. Why are these new positions needed? Primarily to keep up with growth. In 2021, there were about 1,100 restaurants in Loudoun. That is now close to 1,400 restaurants. Not only has the number of restaurants increased, but there has also been an increase in the complexity of processes. We like to say that anyone who eats, sleeps or plays in Loudoun is affected by what we do.
