The Middleburg Town Council meeting on November 14, 2024, focused on several key topics, including local legislative initiatives and community events.

One of the most significant discussions centered around the recent approval by Loudoun County for a $22 million investment to purchase Oak Hill, which will be transformed into a state park. Council members expressed enthusiasm about this development, noting that it provides a strong foundation for further fundraising efforts. They acknowledged the contributions of various individuals and organizations that helped bring this project to fruition.

Additionally, the council recognized the success of the recent Veterans Day event, commending local veterans and organizers for their efforts in creating a meaningful celebration. The event was highlighted for its engaging program, which included performances that resonated with the community.

The council also discussed upcoming legislative priorities, particularly House Bill 20, which would grant localities the authority to use speed cameras. This bill had been postponed in the previous legislative session, but council members expressed their support for local control over such measures. Another legislative topic was Airbnb regulations, with council members emphasizing the need for amendments that would enhance local authority over short-term rentals.

Looking ahead, the council reminded attendees of the upcoming State of the Town address scheduled for Tuesday evening, which will include a live Q&A session for community members.

The meeting concluded with a motion to enter a closed session to discuss legal matters involving the town, ensuring that all discussions adhered to the provisions of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
