Rt. 7

Developments have come to represent, by many, the ruination of our home, way of life and even Loudoun’s future. And the developers are, according to many, the embodiment of greed, excess and selfishness.

Discount that they build the homes we live in, the stores we shop in and even the parks and soccer fields our children enjoy, they commit the worst sin of all—they make money, sometimes. 

The brainchild of Leesburg resident and former Freedom High School baseball coach Chris Bourassa, Play to Win was proposed as a private sports center outfitted with six outdoor artificial fields and three more inside a 225,000-square-foot building. Multipurpose courts, office and retail space, an eatery and a swimming academy are also in the mix for this project, which is slated for 40 acres along Belmont Ridge Road just south of Route 7.
