An Alternative To Traditional Propane Gas Suppliers in Leesburg


Hunt Country Propane Provides Propane Delivery to Leesburg & Beyond

 

Do you own your propane tank? Did you even know that you might not? It’s not often talked about or realized, but most Leesburg propane customers don’t even own their own tank. During home construction, it’s a common practice that rather than purchase a propane tank, a contractor will accept a “free” tank from a propane company, with the caveat that the homeowner must then purchase all their propane from that supplier. It saves the contractor the expense of purchasing the tank, but none of those savings are passed on to families who end up stuck paying artificially inflated propane prices for years to come.

As a result of this practice, it’s not uncommon for a homeowner to be paying a much different price-per-gallon for propane than their neighbor, even if both tanks are owned and filled by the same propane company! Without needing to worry about competitors’ pricing, these propane companies can charge Leesburg residents practically any price they’d like. Even if you’ve “locked in” your pricing (through a company-offered “special deal”), how do you know how your price compares to other homes? What was the “special offer” presented to them?

Hunt Country Propane is a new, locally-owned Leesburg propane gas supplier determined to change the status quo when it comes to propane pricing. Put simply by Hunt Country Propane founder Dale Schulz, “Propane costs too much!”

Exposing the truth behind manipulative price gouging while offering a lower priced propane alternative to Leesburg residents is Hunt Country Propane’s mission. A membership with Hunt Country Propane includes many benefits, including honest & up-front pricing, online (or by phone) scheduling for propane delivery to Leesburg, and advice and assistance with buying your propane tank back from the company clutching it so tightly.

Offering propane delivery to Leesburg homes, businesses, farms, and even HOA’s, Hunt Country Propane is truly a propane company for the masses. Visit their website for more information about how you can take back control of filling your propane tank.

Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Election 2011 – Dulles Candidates Talk Economic Development


Our upcoming elections in Loudoun County are a tremendously important choice in community leadership to shape and cultivate a re-awakening of economic development and opportunity. It’s also a chance to reshape and adjust some of the intractability and resistance to coordinated, productive and transparent collaboration between and among the Board of Supervisors (BOS), Board of Education and the local business community.

One of the most persistent issues we face is the difficulty in attracting and retaining large commercial taxpayers – complete with local employment and economic trickle-down, community development and investment, and contribution to local market, transportation and educational amenities.

From one of the many “rampant-population-growth-without-corresponding-large-commercial-development” centers of the County, here in the Dulles District, we asked the Dulles BOS challengers:

“How can the Board of Supervisors help the local business community work together to attract and/or retain new commercial businesses?” Also, “What immediate or very tactical activities will you undertake or consider, if elected, with respect to improving Loudoun County’s economic development posture, outreach, activities or other initiatives – with the goal of dramatically improving the commercial investments and resultant tax base in the County?”

Read the responses from Republican challenger Matt Letourneau, and Democrat challenger Larry Roeder here at Gateway to Loudoun County

Excerpt – Mr. Letourneau:

“Economic development is a major focus of my campaign for Dulles Supervisor. My experience at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the world’s largest business organization, has given me insight into what the business community needs to be successful in Loudoun. Right now, our county is far too reliant on residential property taxes, resulting in high taxes for homeowners. By bringing in businesses, we’ll create new revenue streams to help pay for needed infrastructure, and we’ll improve traffic by reducing commutes.

I believe that Loudoun County should create an Economic Development Authority (EDA), like Fairfax County did in 1976. We need a professional sales force that will sell Loudoun to the global business community. With a world class airport that has room to grow, excellent schools, and a highly educated workforce, we can be more successful in attracting businesses, but we must be much more aggressive and make it the next Board’s mission from day one. ”

Fairfax Business Networking Breakfast Club – Chantilly, VA

Basile Lemba’s Fairfax business network mission is summed up as: “The main objective of the Fairfax Breakfast Club is to help all guests and attendees achieve their business goals, whatever they may be. By attending our Breakfast Club events, you will the opportunity to build both your networking skills as well as relationships with potential clients, customers, and business partners”.

Many diverse, local businesses, from very small to DC regional, hosted tables with information, offers, marketing and networking opportunities for B2B professionals. The event kicked off with an intro from State Senator Mark Herring (D – District 33), who conveyed a message from US Senator Frank Wolf (video below). In all, a motivating example of local Fairfax, Loudoun and Northern Virginia businesses working very hard in the metropolitan DC area to build business relationships and exposure through in-person, managed networking events. As part of an overall local marketing and advertising strategy, exposure and participation in business networking groups such as this is highly recommended – in addition to significant attention to local digital marketing and social media (contact KME Internet Marketing of Chantilly for more information).
