The Virginia Senate has passed a bill which would require the proffer system to be replaced with a series of impact fees. The county opposes the bill because it would eliminate proffers without replacing it with an impact fee that was high enough to offset what the county is getting under the current system.

Loudoun County has relied on the proffer system to help fund schools, road improvements & other needed county facilities. If passed, the bill will remove the county’s ability to negotiate developer proffers to offset the cost of providing schools, parks and other services to residents of new homes.
