Abstract
The collection consists of a developers' packet, compact disks, and a Zoning Map Amendment Application for Moorefield Station,
a planned community in Loudoun County, Virginia.
The planned community of Moorefield Station is located less than ten miles northwest of Dulles International Airport in Loudoun
County, Virginia. It is a project of the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation, which takes its name and mission from Loudoun
County doctor Claude Moore (1892-1991). As the developers' packet for Moorefield Green notes, the community was envisioned
as a walkable, sustainable development, "a model for 'smart growth.' " As of 2015, Moorefield Station continues to be a work
in progress.
The bulk of the collection is a 14-volume Zoning Map Amendment Application that includes the application, exhibits, an environmental
report, and a traffic study, as well as two later submissions of the revised application. The collection also contains a developers'
packet for Moorefield Green, a precinct within the Moorefield Station community, as well as 9 compact disks that include photos,
design, engineering, zoning, environmental, and historical information. Materials date from 2001-2003.
