The Washington Business Journal (July 2, 2008) reports that Loudoun County’s board of supervisors has voted to prohibit campaign contributions from developers during periods of review for their project proposals. The timeframe starts when an application is submitted, and ends six months after the board’s action on that proposal, or when a plan is withdrawn.

Loudoun County’s former board of supervisors have been critized for being too friendly to developers. The County had built a reputation as one of the nation’s fastest-growing areas. Its population jumped 59 percent between 2000 and 2006.

Demographics show that it may not slow down any time soon. Loudoun is expected to add 15,000 single-family homes and nearly 100,000 jobs by 2020.
