Headline Loudoun County's Charles Grant has the greatest impact in NoVA

Northern Virginia Magazine has published a tribute article on Rev. Charlie Grant. I periodically testify about Rev. Grant too. For years, "President" Grant has made sure there are buses for in-county commuters around the clock 7 days a week with the non-profit Virginia Regional Transit. He does several full time jobs for Sterling and Loudoun to benefit the public at no cost to the public!

(Quote)While most his age are traveling with loved ones, partaking in hobbies or just reveling in retirement, Charles Grant of Loudoun County can be found assisting with medical emergencies, combating fires or preaching to his small church congregation in Sterling. So how does this 73-year-old find the agility to do it all? "God has given me a gift for caring for people in times of crises and of helping people in need," Grant says. (unquote)

>>> STERLING BOULEVARD TREES, COSTCO TREES AND KIMCO TREES

The next phase in planting 100s of trees and landscaping is on schedule for this Fall 2009 along Sterling Boulevard by the Sterling Foundation. A devoted volunteer prepared the grant application and Loudoun Water generously donated a cash "matching" donation to obtain the large state/federal grant.

Costco has planted many new trees, shrubs and other greenery during their recent public application.

Kimco Realty, the managers and owners of the Potomac Run shopping center (Toys R Us and Target, etc) are showing a big committment to community interests by planting 100s of new trees, flowers and other landscaping.

Debbie Keating, property manager, has announced: The landscaping around the Potomac Run sign at Route 7 will be changed by adding additional annuals and liriope. At the rear entrance, the declining Cherry trees will be removed and replaced with colorful crape myrtles and varigated liriope.

An additional 64 crape myrtles will be added in the Fall to replace the declining trees which will add additional color to the center. Kimco is planning to continue working to improve the landscape at Potomac Run to make it a pleasing atmosphere to its customers and tenants.
