2026 AND BEYOND
To best serve the community, Loudoun County government continues to deliver innovative programs and services and construct new facilities and infrastructure while preserving the cultural, historic and natural resources of the county. Crisis and Stabilization Center Loudoun County’s new Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Center, which is expected to be complete in 2026, will provide around-the-clock care, including urgent psychiatric care, for adults who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The center will reduce the reliance on law enforcement in situations where behavioral health services are required. The center’s services will promptly address the needs of the individual in crisis and offer timely intervention and treatment.
Transportation Projects In addition to ongoing road projects designed to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety, Loudoun County is implementing several projects that are designed to improve bicyclist and pedestrian safety and accessibility as well as connectivity to bike and pedestrian trails and transit options, including Loudoun Transit bus service and Metrorail stations. Union Street School The Union Street School rehabilitation project is expected to be completed in FY 2026. The historic structure is being renovated for public access and adaptive reuse. The Union Street School is part of Loudoun County’s Resident Curator Program, which helps to preserve the county’s historic buildings by rehabilitating and maintaining underutilized historic properties and making them accessible to the public. The Loudoun Freedom Center will serve as the curator for the property. Western Loudoun Rural Uses and Standards The review of the county’s rural uses and standards in western Loudoun will continue in FY 2026 as part of proposed amendments to the Loudoun County 2019 Comprehensive Plan and the Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance. The project includes extensive community engagement, which includes participation by the general community as well as those with a specific interest in agriculture, business, conservation and tourism.
Electrical Infrastructure Loudoun County is working to amend the Loudoun County 2019 Comprehensive Plan to improve the county’s ability to influence and guide the location, development and management of high-voltage transmission corridors and electrical infrastructure. The project includes updates to the plan’s maps and text, including policy updates related to the location, design and aesthetics of high-voltage transmission corridors. Invasive Plant Species Management Program The Loudoun Invasive Plant Species Management Program will continue in FY 2026 offering guidance and funding to eligible landowners. The program promotes and implements the removal of non-native invasive plant species that are negatively impacting the local economy and ecosystems. The county is partnering with the Loudoun Soil and Water Conservation District to administer the program.
