The Two Loudoun Counties

"Drastically different in culture, industry, and landscape, the two Loudouns are bound together by geography and must work as one for tax dollars and state appropriations. Towe and seven other county supervisors were swept into office on a slow-growth -- or "smart-growth" -- platform, which favors saving Loudoun's rapidly disappearing green space." Meanwhile, Loudoun's expanding business community, depends on a rapidly increasing population for employees and customers, and is abandoning its agricultural history for fast-growing start-ups and information technology.
