Скачать или смотреть The Future of Virginia: Loudoun County’s $65B Transformation with Buddy Rizer

“You date in Arlington, get married in Fairfax, and have kids in Loudoun.” That used to be the running joke in Northern Virginia... but not anymore.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Buddy Rizer, who went from playing records at DC101 to orchestrating one of the most remarkable economic transformations in American history.
When Buddy took over Loudoun County’s economic development, they were 81% dependent on residential taxes. Then the housing bubble burst...

What happened next is fascinating:
How they attracted $65 billion in commercial investment (and the Amazon HQ2 story you haven’t heard)
The clever way they saved Western Loudoun’s rural character using... wineries?
Why United Airlines is betting big on Dulles with a massive new terminal
The RIVANA project that’s about to change everything

We cover all this and way more, enjoy!
