Wheeler said Manna from Heaven, founded in February 2020, supplies nutritious boxes and essential items to roughly 200 families per month in Northern Virginia, and distributes donated perishables and nonperishables in collaboration with partners including Nest for Us, Chick‑fil‑A, Whole Foods and local restaurants. She said volunteer teams collect weekly donations from Costco and other donors (individual truckloads described in comments as ranging from about 600 to 3,000 pounds), and that distribution events sometimes clear within an hour.

Board members asked whether the group performs home deliveries for seniors and people with limited mobility. Wheeler said delivery is “a path forward” and that Manna from Heaven already makes ad‑hoc deliveries for clients in need; the organization is exploring partnerships with local volunteer and caregiver nonprofits to establish a regular delivery program.

Wheeler also noted that 70% of the organization’s clients speak Spanish and that the group provides Spanish interpretation at distributions. The board and staff offered to share contacts for volunteer caregiving organizations and county resources to support food‑delivery pilots.

Supervisor Randall presented the organization’s recognition and praised volunteer partners and fraternity groups that assist with regular pickups and distribution. The nonprofit requested no formal county action during the presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Loudoun County - Board of Supervisors Business Meeting - May 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Manna from Heaven, a Northern Virginia food distribution nonprofit founded during the COVID‑19 pandemic, told the board it distributes food to about 200 families monthly, partners with Nest for Us and other groups, and is exploring a delivery program to reach seniors and people with disabilities.","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},6570315,"Board directs ADU advisory board to produce tiny‑home white paper, excludes rural policy area",750,7578000,8328000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3210779-32045b7a2590788dc4bd502f98f2a5e4&start=7578&end=8328","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3210779-32045b7a2590788dc4bd502f98f2a5e4/thumbnail_7578000.jpg","/articles/6570315/Virginia/Board-directs-ADU-advisory-board-to-produce-tinyhome-white-paper-excludes-rural-policy-area","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570315-b1eeeb6e1c3fa7f9d990c9a9ab706073/orig.mp4?Expires=1771085791&Signature=TAP-KFBp0K5XbQ2P~x3qXTvjEAwSBUR~~N3sR9SnNzENBvCeFRAf93A51w8GnmdZxvhHlt33D~R0Yv8ixxRDTnSejwOqauOBs0-eXVYnd6auPawGY7yvyBoXwnIbW00tGuq6UYgW9zQhd4Pko-VXOvfhSc52n2RtlNyFrvJ-mqAi-2YinV3djN8tmYS9v5lCB1tFMJqmg35XV7vYKGvsHsgguHWOrEYvWoTI2bIF1HO9U5ltybEgmqSPQITKh518jLoE44U3QRCLpv-T9XGS6GiTFZI2dodiu0sojZVK3dXYrfb6Z0x5eqk7KSbO1kn90VZT4MdqtTPp13a-iZ6a9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors on May 6 voted to ask the Affordable Dwelling Unit (ADU) Advisory Board to prepare a white paper examining tiny‑home communities as an affordable‑housing option.

Chair Phyllis Randall moved the board direct the ADU advisory board to develop the white paper and establish an ADU ad‑hoc committee to help define the study’s scope. Randall said the paper should examine feasibility, financing, construction types, regulation and program models and explicitly exclude the county’s Rural Policy Area from the study scope. Supervisor Tim Saines seconded the motion; the board approved it by voice vote as recorded in the meeting.

Staff told supervisors they expect the ADU advisory board to return a proposed scope to the board quickly and that the white paper itself would likely be completed later in the year. Speakers and supervisors noted several themes for the study: prototype building methods (modular, 3‑D printed, container‑based), supportive services for formerly homeless individuals or people exiting treatment, potential for county land‑banking or land‑lease models, and how building codes and DFS rules affect tiny units and occupancy.

Supervisors said the study should examine whether tiny homes can serve specific populations — seniors on fixed incomes, reentry clients, recent graduates and others — and identify appropriate zoning districts, potential public‑private partners and financing options.

The motion passed without recorded opposition; staff will return with a proposed project scope and an ADU ad‑hoc committee membership plan for board review.","The Board authorized the Affordable Dwelling Unit Advisory Board to develop a white paper on tiny‑home communities and created an ADU ad‑hoc committee to define scope; Chair Randall excluded the rural policy area from the study scope and supervisors approved the motion.",{"_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},6570320,"Board delays decision on Cross Mill data‑center rezoning after hours of debate and a last‑minute reduction in proposed square footage",1725,9291000,11016000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3210779-32045b7a2590788dc4bd502f98f2a5e4&start=9291&end=11016","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3210779-32045b7a2590788dc4bd502f98f2a5e4/thumbnail_9291000.jpg","/articles/6570320/Virginia/Board-delays-decision-on-Cross-Mill-datacenter-rezoning-after-hours-of-debate-and-a-lastminute-reduction-in-proposed-square-footage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570320-7b58d09f7c9f33a385b68c7faa211bec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771085791&Signature=gvGOnBVFJjBCYAc1N~1T5CpDu7Vt1sgu5lLoZWojyh4j8tySWCSOA9~alvZkidIxapwqtgfL4Ei4GlTyn-MNX8F8nNI5Soe9rRs9svZd-XNq9q3Wlbra447g0AI0gfJdmXf5Hx-i2B43JpSJX7ym9MpOGmj4G8LiShlFvXiZf0ixwG2nVbPzaozLKqyp4Lj8~iMYG~mOkFZy~~6CGBsYQGLK0-uRMvEKVrG8OMUMVhbvUiSesGy~5VeRpCyv20DJbExC2lXV0bztCdioGYeesJgxm916zQyQILWFzlUSVUYhN0HvoenzwZoUqzXMXCgtcCmLFfzXMbC4r8ptEKaP3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors took up the Cross Mill Center land‑use application (ZMAP‑2020‑364) on May 6 after staff said the applicant submitted revised materials the afternoon of the meeting that removed a special exception request and reduced the proposed data‑center square footage from roughly 740,000 to about 556,000 square feet.

Planning staff told the board the applicants revised the proffers, concept plan tabulations and conditions of approval; the change kept the same building footprints but reduced the total floor area by removing a requested increase in floor‑area ratio (FAR). Staff confirmed the new materials had been reviewed but not broadly redistributed before the meeting.

The Leesburg Airport Commission and multiple local residents and workforce training representatives spoke. The airport commission’s vice chair told the board the site lies under the Runway 35 flight path and argued non‑residential development such as data centers is compatible with airport operations. Several speakers representing the Nova Data Center Academy, students and NOVA DCA staff urged approval, saying data centers provide local job and training opportunities.

Opponents, supervisors and staff raised concerns about site topography, retaining walls, floodplain areas tied to Sicklin Creek, visual impacts, and the availability and routing of transmission/service lines. Dominion Energy had earlier flagged transmission‑routing constraints; staff and the applicant discussed that those utility routing questions are governed by state regulators and can affect off‑site impacts.

After extended discussion the board considered a motion to approve the application, then subsequent motions to deny and to table. The meeting recorded multiple procedural votes. The final board action on May 6 was to table the denial motion and schedule the matter for future board action; the public will be notified in a future board agenda when the item’s next date is set.

The applicant and staff had previously told supervisors the project would include permitting options allowing alternate uses (warehouse or flex industrial) if the data‑center use were not chosen; staff said those alternatives remain part of the application’s concept options.","The board debated the Cross Mill (ZMAP 2020‑364) data‑center application, reviewed revised materials filed the afternoon of the meeting that cut the proposed data‑center square footage, and ultimately tabled any final action to a future board meeting after close votes and competing motions.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6570325,"Sheriff outlines crime trends, explains jail-only ICE warrant‑service agreement and new behavioral‑health support",214,2066000,2280000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3210779-32045b7a2590788dc4bd502f98f2a5e4&start=2066&end=2280","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3210779-32045b7a2590788dc4bd502f98f2a5e4/thumbnail_2066000.jpg","/articles/6570325/Virginia/Sheriff-outlines-crime-trends-explains-jail-only-ICE-warrantservice-agreement-and-new-behavioralhealth-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570325-1e146d0af1760cc270fc0ce82ac9e9aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771085791&Signature=Kk8es52YoN0K1TzolHMRyebYZ1hJ7ljROCQ7qAMFtG2lqijja7S1DgyT1NpzGrUFnI6GjJ4bzTfxGXDJtTz5Mnt5HeB1qxTk4VeNAEO9pGGttyje8Eivgz2MVEInlOdcGZCDCe6qs7Js~vqT9viHpAvvYqqFqHrT7MejR4E1iPgQHR1B0ElwYLHb9fzF1mN01h12JFPXKP8qnkpG6bsVo2018u783YkiYgwO9UYjg5uPIdMcb2glHCj0RXAeQkb0~zhdjW2uwV5rlu6e6o9xtv9q3mHttmXpc~zgjJNEsQc1mOPoZvJv5vUB9SGR7-5iL1Ep7EVKlZemrgeCsH6-4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sheriff Michael Chapman told the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors on May 6 that the sheriff’s office recently signed a warrant‑service agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that applies only within the county’s adult detention center, and does not authorize deputies to perform immigration enforcement in the community.

Chapman said the agreement formalizes an existing practice under a jail‑enforcement model: when someone arrested on local criminal charges enters the county jail, deputies run criminal history and an immigration alien query. If ICE notifies the jail of interest, the agency may seek to pick up the person when the local custody ends. The agreement permits trained deputy warrant‑service officers to sign custodial paperwork and give ICE a 48‑hour window to take custody if ICE cannot arrive before a scheduled release.

The sheriff framed the agreement as public‑safety driven: “It is irresponsible to release serious criminals who are in The US illegally back to our community when they are wanted by ICE on other charges and pose a threat to our citizens,” Chapman said. He emphasized the office does not participate in 287(g) task‑force field operations and “we do not go out and arrest people for immigration violations.”

Lieutenant Colonel Chris Sawyer delivered the quarterly operational report. He said Part 1 serious crime is down about 25% year‑to‑date and Part 2 crime is down about 10%. The department reported a 30% increase in traffic stops quarter‑over‑quarter — part of a proactive enforcement push that staff linked to a countywide reduction in crashes and a 25% drop in overall crime. Sawyer said vehicle‑theft and firearm‑theft from vehicles are down, opioid overdoses were lower in the quarter, and the corrections division passed an unannounced Virginia Board of Local and Regional Jails inspection with full compliance.

Sawyer flagged rapid growth in financial‑crime investigations, especially cryptocurrency fraud. He described a successful tracing operation that led to returning $1,400,000 to a victim in a recent case; detectives are now working around the clock in some cases to trace blockchain flows and attempt to freeze funds in transit.

Supervisors pressed the sheriff’s team on the ICE process and record releases. Lieutenant Colonel Sawyer described booking‑time database queries and said DHS/ICE notifies the jail if they have an interest; a warrant‑service officer will execute paperwork to detain and transfer a person to ICE within the 48‑hour window. Sheriff Chapman and staff said ICE does not pick up every detainer and that ICE is responsible for medical costs if a detainee has an emergency while awaiting pickup.

On record‑release policies, the sheriff said a 2013 Loudoun court decision limits the office’s contemporaneous public release of arrest records to about one to two weeks; criminal‑history requests beyond that are treated differently under state law and court precedent, staff said.

Several supervisors pressed the sheriff about racial disparities in stops and searches shown in the report; the sheriff’s office said it routinely reviews stop/search data and that many recent increases in vehicle stops and searches were linked to targeted DUI and traffic enforcement and did not, in most cases, produce immediate custodial arrests.

The sheriff closed by noting multiple significant investigations in the quarter — including quick arrests in a Broadlands homicide and an Internet child‑exploitation operation — and by thanking deputies and corrections staff for recent awards and accreditations.","Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office presented its first‑quarter significant‑incident report, defended a warrant‑service agreement with ICE that applies only inside the adult detention center, and described drops in several crime categories while noting rising cryptocurrency fraud and an increase in proactive traffic enforcement.","actionData","errors"]
