Nicholas for Leesburg - Nicholas Krukowski

Last week myself, Mayor Burk and members of Town Staff headed down to Richmond to meet with Loudoun legislators to discuss several bills that we are tracking that affect our services and ability to govern. Thabk you
for meeting with us!

A huge thank you to our staff! The snow storm, compounded by ice, was troublesome for citizens and visitors alike. Additionally, we had one of our tennis bubbles deflate after a massive hole opened in it. Staff was quick to react and have begun the process of repair and reinflation. The plan is to have, at the least, the main tennis bubble back in service by Monday. Thank you again to our hard working staff!

What a fantastic turnout and celebration for MLK day. Leesburg and Loudoun you showed out! Thank you to the various sororities, fraternities, civil rights groups and citizens that attended and honored a great man's legacy and the work that he inspired.

Join us for the ribbon cutting Friday at 5pm for our new Trompe l'oeil murals on Lassiter Way! This past weekend the family took a walk around downtown and got to interact with our newest art! I was thrilled to not only push for approval on these murals but to champion doubling the size for better visibility and engagement. Come celebrate with us!

Leesburg Town Council is proud to proclaim October Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We hosted a wonderful ceremony where survivors shared their stories of resilience and healing. The event culminated with a moment of silence. Thank you to everyone who could attend.

Congratulations to all the nominees and the winners at the Leesburg Business Awards! This fantastic event was put together by town staff from the Economic Development department and members of the Economic development commission. It was truly a pleasure to see so many of our local business owners and leaders in one room.

I join in solidarity the members of C**T, including our in condemning and suspending Purcellville's Mayor Chris Bertaut. The actions by Mayor Bertaut and three other council members over the last several months erode the integrity of us as fellow elected officials. Thank you to the Mayors indicated above for taking what would normally be a difficult stance.

Please check out the Facebook group Purcellville Deserves Better to support recalling these individuals to return order, decency and honor to the town of Purcellville.

Thank you to Mayor Burk and Council member Kari Nacy for this Women In Government Blood drive. Gave my bag!

Come join my good friend, current Delegate and former Leesburg Town Council member, Marty Martinez as we kick off his re-election campaign.

Yesterday I was able to attend the Prince street house drop with for humanity. The new project is a one-over-one stacked duplex on a vacant lot on Prince Street. These modular homes were constructed and transported to the lots this week. The drop involves a crane hoisting the 4 pieces into place where they are to be assembled in place. The best part is, this opportunity allows the families moving in to become owners of a home where they may not have the chance otherwise.

Finished up the day at Leesburg Elementary where I was happy to offer a bingo prize that includes a personal tour of Town hall and a meet and greet with the Mayor.
