Guest Column: New zoning approach needed for housing

Northern Virginia continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in the United States. Despite federal job losses from DOGE over the past two years, our region is set to return to positive job growth by the end of 2026. A little over 2.6 million people are living in the area right now, and that number is expected to climb to over 3 million in the next few years. This growth has bolstered the local economy but has also created a significant challenge – especially around the cost of housing.

What should Valley farmers ask before booking flatbed equipment moves?

That used tractor on a dealer’s lot in Ohio looks like a steal on your phone. Then you think about getting it down I-81 to a farm outside Staunton. A big four-wheel-drive or a combine won’t go in an enclosed van, and hardly anybody in Augusta or Rockingham County owns a trailer rated to haul one. So you buy the machine, and now it has to come home somehow.
