HF Construction Trailer on County Propery

The HOA Board has received numerous complaints regarding the construction trailer parked on the grass off 32nd Street at the end of A Street. The developer recently moved the trailer there to satisfy the Town's requirement that it be removed from Hirst Farm. As it now resides on the developers land in Loudoun County, neither the HOA Board or the Town of Purcellville has jurisdiction. As such, complaints should be directed to Loudoun County via the County's Website.

National Propane Buyer's Co-op

A meeting was held at the Purcellville Train station in December, to discuss with David Jaray, owner of NATIONAL PROPANE BUYER'S CO-OP a deal he is proposing to Coalition members of Hirst Farm.  Mr. Jaray came to the Coalition with a deal to swap out our propane tanks with new ones (with the negotiated price payments spread out over a minimum of 12 months) that will be owned by the homeowner.  His company will dig up the existing tank, bury the new one, arrange for pick up of the replaced tank by their owner, and negotiate fuel prices that are far below what we are currently paying.

The meetings , provided a forum, to give the membership an opportunity to ask questions and get immediate answers.

Whatever agreement that results from the negotiations with Mr. Jaray will be initiated by individual contracts between the Coalition/HOA Member and Mr. Jaray.  It is an individual decision that is not binding on anyone else.
