Oaklawn LLC owns property east of the Dulles Greenway and north of Leesburg Executive Airport. In April 2023 Oaklawn submitted a development application that included a data center, a public park, and a new waterline; Council denied the application on January 28, 2025, and Oaklawn later filed litigation challenging the denial. Utilities staff describe the existing waterline as outdated and undersized, connecting the Western and Sycolin pressure zones that serve about 4,000 customer accounts. The agreement provides $141,505 for easement acquisition, already funded in the FY 2027-2032 CIP under Townwide Water Line Improvements and Repairs, with no additional appropriation.
