During a regular meeting, the Jefferson County Commission approved the Jefferson County First Resolution, spearheaded by President Pasha Majdi. This strategic plan emphasizes prioritizing local economic development while opposing the appropriation of private property for projects like the PJM transmission line that serves Loudoun County. Support from all commissioners was noted, with discussions on enhancing budget efficiency and fostering growth in local sectors, including data centers. The resolution aims to create a balanced community with both residential and commercial opportunities for residents in towns like Charles Town and Ranson, aligning with the county's vision for sustainable development.
