Saturday, March 28
Leesburg's Hamburg Doner restaurant is hosting an anniversary party March 28 at its location at 202-A Harrison St. starting at noon. At the event, the owners will unveil their restaurant's new name and sign, followed by a ribbon-cutting with Mayor Kristen Umstattd. The Hamburg Doner is in the Mighty Midget Kitchen building.
Loan officer named
Severn Mortgage Corp., a home mortgage lender based in Ashburn, recently appointed H.B. Kilgour to senior loan officer. Kilgour has 22 years of experience in local banking and lending.
Extension funding spared
Funding cuts for Loudoun's Extension Services office likely will not be as severe as once thought.
Like other county agencies, Extension Services, which advises the local agriculture community, had to present three levels of cuts to help offset the county's nearly $200 million budget gap. The most severe option would have forced the office to reduce staff and programs.
However, on March 18, supervisors voted for the least severe option, meaning no major cuts will be made, said Extension Services Director Corey Childs. “This is the best that we could ask for,” he said.
Supervisors will officially adopt the county's next budget in early April.
