PURCELLVILLE, Va. - When most governments need more space, they borrow to expand, but not Purcellville.
The Loudoun County town, population about 7,000, has agreed to sell the current town hall on East Main Street for $1.6 million to Atoka Properties, a division of Middleburg Real Estate. That sale will help finance the renovation of another building for a new town hall.
"We are actually just moving around the corner to an old church building that we are renovating," says mayor Bob Lazaro. "It allows us to plan for the future."

Maybe some members of our city council will see this & realize that running a city is supposed to be a 'for profit' operation, not a give away to well connected business people.
Purcellville was a sleepy little town along Route 7 when I stopped there for a meal many years ago. Just a blip on the map ....
Friendly folks there however.
