From road improvements to new parks and amenities, Supervisor Letourneau has brought unprecedented progress to the Dulles District.
TRANSPORTATION
Matt has been focused since day 1 on updating transportation infrastructure in Dulles South which had not been keeping pace with growth. His efforts led to the widening of Route 606, constructing the missing pieces of Loudoun County Parkway and Tall Cedars Parkway, and roundabouts at Braddock-Pleasant Valley and Poland and Edgewater. He’s worked on numerous safety improvements at roads and intersections through the Dulles District.
Matt cast the deciding vote to bring Metro to Loudoun County and worked as a Metro Board Member to breakthrough the gridlock to get it open. Through his efforts, Loudoun County Transit has dramatically expanded its bus network in Dulles South, providing new options for commuters.
IMPROVING OUR QUALITY OF LIFE
From opening the Gum Spring Library to funding and constructing the Dulles South Recreation and Community Center, Matt’s work has brought unprecedented improvements to Dulles South. For years, he worked to put together funding to construct Hanson Park, a 200 acre regional park with a variety of amenities and numerous fields. He partnered with the South Riding Proprietary to construct the Conklin Park Bike Trail and helped negotiate land acquisition for a future park on Braddock Road. His Field Improvement Initiative resulted in upgrades and restrooms at numerous school fields.
Matt has also worked to alleviate overcrowding in our schools. In the County budget, he was able to accelerate construction of Cardinal Ridge Elementary School, Goshen Post Elementary School, Willard Intermediate School, Rock Ridge High School and Lightridge High School to ensure that our children and teachers have the space they need.
protectiNg our interests AND KEEPING US SAFE
Matt has demanded better proffers from developers, and has opposed land development projects that are not in the best interest of the community. While he’s known as a consensus-builder on the Board, he’s not afraid to stand up and fight. He’s taken a strong position against the construction of data centers near residential communities. Over the years, he successfully worked to keep power lines away from the south side of Route 50, and block VDOT from building express lanes without local access. More recently, he’s worked to bring back the Avonlea Town Center project, with space for new retail and restaurants, and he’s fought against allowing apartments at Dulles Landing right under Dulles Airport flight paths.
Matt is a strong supporter of law enforcement who fought for new Traffic Safety positions based in each Loudoun Sheriff Office station. He helped oversee a reorganization of Loudoun County Fire Rescue and the creation of a new first responders pay scale.
strong fiscal management AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
Matt works to provide maximum value to taxpayers. During his time on the Board of Supervisors, Loudoun has maintained its AAA bond ratings, strengthened its fiscal policies and received clean audits. During Matt’s tenure, Loudoun has maintained an AAA bond rating for all three major credit rating agencies—the best possible.
Early in his first term, Matt led a transformation of Loudoun County Economic Development, which has led to it becoming one of the top performing agencies in North America. He continues to work to attract top businesses to Loudoun and to diversify the economy. He’s particularly focused on zoning and land use projects around Loudoun’s Metro stations as the next great opportunity to ensure Loudoun stays ahead of the curve.
