A workgroup aimed at addressing the deficiencies with emergency 911 call routing in Virginia is underway following the deaths of teenager Fitz Thomas of Loudoun County and Bob Herzing of Brunswick County, which borders North Carolina.
The initiative is intended to address 911 calls being redirected to jurisdictions in bordering states instead of emergency operations centers inside Virginia.
Dels. David Reid (D-32nd) and Roslyn Tyler (D-75th) led an effort toward addressing the matter during the General Assemblyâs special session, resulting in a language amendment in the stateâs recent budget directing the establishment of an E911 Border Response Workgroup tasked with identifying and addressing the inadequacies in the E911 call routing system.

The Loudoun Chamber has announced the 2021 Loudoun Community Leadership Awards finalists. The awards honor businesses and community leaders who have demonstrated exemplary leadership and commitment to support the strength and vitality of the Loudoun community.
In its eighth year, the program this year will place a special emphasis on the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Early in the COVID pandemic, the Loudoun Chamber understood that our community needed to work together, with strength, selflessness and unity, in order to endure this public health crisis. The response we have seen from our businesses, nonprofits and residents to this crisis has been nothing short of extraordinary, as Loudouners responded with remarkable generosity and sacrifice. That is the spirit that define the Loudoun Community Leadership Awards,” Chamber President & CEO Tony Howard said.
