Leesburg Business Community,

Recently, there have been a number of updates to programs at the federal, state and local level to provide additional assistance to the business community.  Examples of these updates and additions include:

  • Newly Announced Federal Business Assistance
  • Loudoun County Business Interruption Fund
  • Facebook Business Relief Grants
  • Tax Relief for Leesburg Businesses

Information on each of these programs, as well as additional services such as Virginia Tourism Industry Tool Kit and Resource Guides developed by both the Loudoun and U.S. Chambers of Commerce can be found at www.leesburgva.gov/residents/coronavirus-information

Additionally, please remember to list your business on the newly established site https://virtualleesburg.com/ to highlight your business to consumers who are continuing to look for goods and services and are interested in supporting our local business establishments.    

Again, I want to thank each of you for all that you are doing during these difficult times.  Our local business community is very important to all Leesburg residents and remains the priority for our efforts.  Please know that the Leesburg Office of Economic Development is here to assist you.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.    

Once again, thank you.   

Sincerely,

Russell Seymour
