History
Kincora Village developers first petitioned Loudoun County officials to build its multi-use complex in December 2008. The pending 337-acre (136.379-hectare) development is near the intersections of Routes 28 and 7, and in close proximity to the Dulles Town Center and the Washington Dulles International Airport. The original "Kincora Ballpark" was approved by Loudoun County's Transportation/Land Use Committee with a 2-1 vote on June 29, 2009.[1]
On October 1, 2012 it was announced that the Loudoun Hounds had signed a new agreement to be located in the "One Loudoun" development in Ashburn, VA and would no longer be located in Kincora.[2] In April 2013, Loudoun County's Board of Supervisors cast a unanimous vote in favor of a rezoning application filed by One Loudoun, allowing the special events venue to be constructed at the site.[3] The facility will be immediately visible from the southwestern corner of the interchange of Virginia Route 7 and the Loudoun County Parkway.
