We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.

If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Will you be one of the 5%?

The afternoon will include three separate presentations covering Leesburg’s architectural history, the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) review process, and effective methods for maintaining historic buildings. Sessions will begin at 1 p.m., and attendees can participate in the full program or choose individual sessions that suit their interests. While the event is free and open to the public, the Town recommends early online registration to ensure space availability, although walk-ins will be accommodated as possible.
