Also in December twenty twenty three, the Board of Supervisors allocated two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to develop a program to set to tackle invasive species in Lauden. Through the advoc advocacy of a group known as LIRA or the Loudoun Invasive Removal Alliance. I understand the school system has also worked with this group with um and that a twenty-five acre uh Bradford Pear Tree Forest at Tu Tuscarora High School is going to be removed by LCPS, which may be the largest invasive species removal in Loudoun. As the county government continues to work through the development of the invasive species removal program, we look forward to collaborating with L CPS on their removal.

The Board of Supervisors has also adopted a new capital intensity factor fees for new residential development in Loudoun County. These are the development monetary proffers that are paid to the county for every residential home built in Loudoun that are used to pay for facilities such as schools. The new capital intensity factors will be implemented in a phased approach through 2027, and the dollar amounts are different based on what type unit types are being built. whether it's age restricted and what area of uh the county the housing unit is in. We have also adopted the budget for fiscal year twenty twenty five that included an increase to the LCPS local transfer. Finally, the Planning Commission has just completed a review of LCPS's commission permit to allow for the construction of HS-14 and an elementary school on the shared campus site with Watson Mountain Middle School near Red Hill Drive and Evermills Road.
