Opinion

My name is Ebony Lofton and I am the President of South Cove HOA. We are located right next to Grace Church.

I read your article about the planned homeless shelter and hope you’d be willing to take a statement on our views. All of the residents I’ve talked to are not in support of this plan and we want to do all we can to share our views and to hopefully stop approval of this re-zoning plan.


News

The Town Council will hold a public hearing at its September 15 meeting to decide whether or not to issue a zoning text amendment to allow the shelter to open inside the church at 1006 Williamstown Drive.

Born and raised in the heart of Appalachia, Mr. McGlothlin arrived in Northern Virginia in 1958, with no formal education, no job in place, but with a wife, infant daughter, and only basement lodging in a friends’ house awaiting him.

He quickly got three jobs: delivering milk, delivering bread, and working in a pizza shop. In 1959, the owner of the pizza shop became ill and could not operate a newly opened restaurant in Dumfries, Virginia.  He was impressed with Mr. McGlothlin’s work ethic and moral character and proffered him the business if Mr. McGlothlin took over the financial obligations.
