Loudoun County Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) will hold the first of two community workshops on future improvements to Mickie Gordon Memorial Park on Thursday, August 31, 2023, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., at the Middleburg Community Center, located at 300 West Washington Street, Middleburg.
The workshops will include a brief presentation of existing conditions and the opportunity for input regarding future recreational elements at the park. Members of the community will participate in group breakout sessions with PRCS staff who will gather input provided by residents on recommended future improvements.
A Special Exception to the county’s zoning ordinance previously filed through the county’s legislative land use process has been placed on hold to gather further community input regarding future improvements to Mickie Gordon Memorial Park. The Special Exception process allows the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors opportunities to review the request, hear public comment on the proposal and impose appropriate conditions or restrictions on the use to minimize any negative impacts.
The date, time, and location of the second community workshop will be announced in the next few weeks.
