Green announces run for Purcellville Town Council

Brian Green has announced his run for town council in the Town of Purcellville town election on Nov. 5. Green and his wife have lived in western Loudoun for 25 years, and in the town for eight years. 

“My wife and I chose to live in Purcellville for its small town feel and quality of life. Purcellville is the perfect place to live and to raise our family. Our two sons have enjoyed the benefits of growing up in this special town. Purcellville is a wonderful community,” said Green.

Green began his career in the television industry and transitioned into Telecommunications, Internet Service Providers and currently the Financial Industry. He has experience working in the areas of Engineering, Information Technology, Project Management and Customer Service in supporting and in management roles. 

Green currently serves on the Town of Purcellville’s Planning Commission where he has been working on the rewrite of the zoning ordinance getting it in line with the town’s comprehensive plan. Said Green, “Since zoning is paramount to protecting our town, I advocate for our updated zoning ordinance that conserves our town’s character and preserves our way of life and well-being.
“Our current planning commission is comprised of experienced town residents who are committed to preserving our small town by making sure our zoning protects our residents’ wishes. We have been diligent in standing firm against inappropriate development pressure to allow uses which our citizens do not want.”

He added, “Our town’s future is determined by its citizens not by developer interests who want to extend our borders and also allow uses in our town that will threaten our town’s charm. I am against annexations which will extend our borders and allow high density and out of character uses. This will also increase taxes, lead to higher utility rates, increase traffic and change our small-town dramatically.”

Green is running on a slow growth platform, transparency, integrity, and keeping taxes low. “I will put citizens first, not developers and uphold our shared values and champion the interests of residents.”

In his spare time Green is a handyman at home and one of his passions is cooking and making homemade pasta and ravioli, much to his family’s delight.
