Summary

After months of study and public outreach, the committee recommended a scaled performance-and-visual-arts facility for Eastern Loudoun and directed staff to use $500,000 of contingency funds for planning, schematic design and site assessment; the recommendation passed 3-2.

The Loudoun County Finance, Government Operations and Economic Development Committee on Jan. 14 recommended that the Board of Supervisors pursue a scaled performance-and-visual arts facility in Eastern Loudoun and directed staff to set aside $500,000 from contingency for planning, preliminary design and site assessment for inclusion in the FY2026 Capital Improvement Program.

The committee’s recommendation follows a yearlong study and public outreach process led by the county’s Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure and an architectural consultant, Paige Sutherland Page. The study offered three options: a multi-building performance-and-visual-arts campus, a scaled single-building performance-and-visual facility, and a large community arts center. Staff reported that the scaled performance-and-visual option best balanced community feedback, space needs and cost estimates.
