Smith said the budget document provides adopted figures for 2025 but lacks actual results for the current fiscal year and a clear total for data‑center real property and personal property taxes. \"There is no place in this or prior budget documents where you can find the total revenue generated by data centers,\" he said.

The request comes during the board\u000092s public hearing on the FY2026 proposed budget and the proposed tax rate on real and personal property. Smith asked the board to include actuals for the first two-thirds of fiscal 2025 or a reasonable projection, and to break out data‑center revenue either in the executive summary, the general fund revenue section, the forecast discussion, or a separate online document.

Chair Randall responded to Smith\u000092s concerns during the hearing. Randall said that when the county\u000092s budget staff presented earlier, \"the data center revenue was broken out very specifically,\" and she offered to send Smith links to that presentation.

No formal action was taken at the Feb. 22 public hearing; the session was a public comment period on the FY2026 proposed budget. The board\u000092s clerk and budget staff will retain public comments as the supervisors consider the proposed budget in subsequent deliberations.

Smith\u000092s request highlights a recurring transparency issue in budget discussions: stakeholders seeking more granular, up‑to‑date revenue information to evaluate spending and tax proposals. The board scheduled two additional public hearings on the proposed budget for Thursday, Feb. 27.

Chair Randall said staff would follow up with the links Smith requested and that those materials could be used by residents and supervisors alike as the board moves toward final budget decisions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Loudoun County - Board of Supervisors Budget Public Input Meeting - Feb 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Roger Smith, a Waterford resident, told the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 22 that the county\u000092s proposed fiscal year 2026 budget does not clearly show total revenue from data centers and asked the county to publish fuller historical and interim fiscal data before the budget is approved.","taxTitle","Loudoun County, Virginia","taxId",5640,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6676716,"Advocates urge Loudoun supervisors to fund and coordinate survivor services, highlight LAWS—92 work",579,1260000,1839000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2380619-b69d7e41a882867d8e7556fa03c9e1a4&start=1260&end=1839","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2380619-b69d7e41a882867d8e7556fa03c9e1a4/thumbnail_1260000.jpg","/articles/6676716/Virginia/Advocates-urge-Loudoun-supervisors-to-fund-and-coordinate-survivor-services-highlight-LAWS92-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6676716-ca1fcc0478500354ca1490f035c94d06/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199445&Signature=n-ZU7v83A72lMfOCn8CS7FOPCE2-W59QL-CKUqAlzmzJiWmL4Vcq3oTGS5tsWaFI9ZAyDWOR0fazkNXVTXLq3pAK-~3BuhvUi5P-UFvWAgzy7HSUCWOWh6W0bmFK4sfWHSglPMrxWquSWPObLumh0fpCxIdrhne1qnoZG0OakXS0QgGtTkHAummkOiG00rdij37oG8YeiOXrDntFsPjU0gCT6LphPU-6iFsnLjOgXM1yXlRI2kya59c3tu~HJBEtTmmA3JBWhRbCCPzUUPnpOJxDiu1rmWwRJZZVZ-6aiF6EkwkPV7jLez~YKPW-nH6OoF-1R~6pdhV81UWe~N2EmQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several leaders of domestic‑violence and survivor‑service organizations urged the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 22 to expand county funding and a county‑led coordinated community response (CCR) to strengthen services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

Samantha Clark, identified as CEO of LAWS (domestic violence and sexual assault services), told the board that \"Loudoun County has long been a leader in supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault\" and described LAWS\u000092 four decades of work with law enforcement, courts, schools, and community partners. Clark said LAWS provided services last year that included 91 adults and 88 children receiving 3,100 nights of emergency shelter, more than 4,000 hours of advocacy to 743 survivors, and 1,183 hotline calls answered.

Rebecca Hoey, legal services director at LAWS, and Diana Rodriguez, LAWS community services director and co‑facilitator of the county\u000092s coordinated community response, emphasized that survivor support extends beyond crisis intervention. Hoey said survivors often need long‑term legal advocacy, housing assistance and therapy. Rodriguez urged the board to ensure a CCR model with \"shared governance, collective accountability, and ensuring every decision is centered on survivors and community safety.\"

Anna Maria Lastra, a licensed professional counselor who partners with LAWS, noted additional barriers immigrant survivors face, including fear of deportation and language access challenges, and said community‑based organizations provide trusted, confidential access that some survivors avoid seeking from government agencies.

Speakers asked the county to consider proposed funding to \"develop county‑led survivor services and coordination\" and to leverage LAWS\u000092 institutional knowledge rather than supplant it. Clark and other LAWS representatives said the organization is ready to partner with the county to design a model that strengthens referrals, incorporates offender intervention programs, and prioritizes survivor‑centered services.

No formal funding decision was made at the Feb. 22 public hearing; the session was the public comment portion of the FY2026 budget process. Several LAWS speakers urged the board to use the budget cycle to expand and formally resource CCR functions and to ensure survivor services remain accessible to those with limited English proficiency or immigration‑related concerns.

The comments underline stakeholder support for greater county investment and coordination in long‑term services for survivors and for policies that formally align county resources with existing nonprofit providers.","Several leaders of domestic‑violence and survivor‑service organizations urged the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 22 to expand county funding and a county‑led coordinated community response (CCR) to strengthen services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6676711,"Parents, coaches ask Loudoun supervisors to preserve ION ice facility amid proposed conversion",1834,1607000,3441000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2380619-b69d7e41a882867d8e7556fa03c9e1a4&start=1607&end=3441","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2380619-b69d7e41a882867d8e7556fa03c9e1a4/thumbnail_1607000.jpg","/articles/6676711/Virginia/Parents-coaches-ask-Loudoun-supervisors-to-preserve-ION-ice-facility-amid-proposed-conversion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6676711-60227595e7261026a54d579c65fd47e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199445&Signature=ZMCeHeimCh9V9pgiKfB8dNvnCp4c-BU8GIX2hln01G7cRdyDWtVkdGejgPRh0ZxSZRi~24DgT7zE2WrWrgLlB~XWCXlz8cMpOijyyF-~IPSroncAFmWY6Eafww3AL7cax6NMK48yStVrvrB5maNZSCZV7TO3IrFHFV3JBRLJwqi6TRRJxbDgRa6lIMl3L67JGJCuNYuxkfgLCG-o6mgWzoYB7hRUCmgZz8RsBT5xzhcaXHtM9t~dlwflXKDb06MGyTJD0LyOz8ncKS-GLq-mYzIgwNcfdITPu3RQl8EdEcURMBO7spW4xBHxpZxNtuYXXUj~PswPNy09qUrmMCszXw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parents, coaches and community members told the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 22 that the proposed repurposing of the ION International Training Center into a performing arts and conference facility would displace youth hockey and figure‑skating programs and asked the county not to use public funds to support such a conversion.

Brianne Carr, speaking on behalf of hundreds of families, said ION has been a \"vital resource for youth hockey, figure skating and recreational ice sports\" and that current ownership\u000092s proposal to repurpose the facility \"would harm the community and makes little economical sense.\" Carr asked whether the county was considering buying ION or would provide grants to a privately owned facility, and said the community would prefer county help that preserves ice time or funds construction of new ice to serve displaced youth.

Richard George, a Leesburg resident and parent of two youth hockey players, described the rink as a community hub that supported families, hotel stays and local businesses tied to tournaments and travel. \"I am in full support of an Eastern Loudoun Performing Arts Center. It's a great idea, but not at ION,\" he said, and urged the board not to allocate tax dollars to ION\u000092s current management if that funding would displace area youth.

Speakers said they have seen financial mismanagement at ION under current ownership and warned against using county funds to assist a private owner planning to end ice operations. Chair Randall acknowledged the concerns and told at least one parent that she would schedule follow‑up meetings with parents and county staff to discuss options.

No formal county action was announced at the Feb. 22 public hearing; speakers requested information about county plans and funding options and asked the board to consider alternatives that would preserve ice access for youth athletes in eastern Loudoun.

The comments raise questions for county staff and supervisors about whether public funds could or should be used to preserve privately owned community recreational facilities and whether acquisition, grants, or incentives would be available to maintain ice programming in the county.","Users of the ION International Training Center urged the board to avoid using county funds to support a plan that would convert the privately owned ice facility into a performing arts center, saying the change would displace nearly 1,000 youth skaters and harm the local hockey community.","actionData","errors"]
