Yet Another Loudoun County Growth Paper

I came across an interesting paper that talks about growth in Loudoun County. The one line that stood out for me was:

County officials contend that the costs of infrastructure required to serve the population inflow exceeds the revenues generated, thus threatening the county’s fiscal soundness.

That brings up the obvious question. If it is going to cost more to support new homes/families under your current fiscal model than you collect in taxes, why do you want to allow another house to be built when it drives you deeper into debt? Put another way, if you were in the business of making a product and selling them and your next one was going to cost more to make than you get selling it, why bother making it at all?

The paper is in PDF format and can be found as the first item in a google search.
