Our focus at the Department of Economic Development is business, but our vision goes beyond helping companies locate and expand here. We are engaged in a variety of community development initiatives with a goal of sustaining and enhancing Loudoun's overall excellence for years to come. A sampling of recent projects includes:

 

• Medical Automation Conference – a international-level conference bringing healthcare providers and administrators together to learn about new health improvements and cost saving technologies.
• Wayfinding – a Board of Supervisors-initiated project to study and design a sign system which will welcome, orient and guide those traveling in and around the county.
• Signatures of Loudoun Design Awards – The Department's Design Cabinet recognizes quality design elements throughout countywide with their annual award program. 
• Agricultural and Forestal District Program – an effort by DED to leverage the state-mandated program in a way to increase economic development outreach to the agricultural community.
