Norman Myers (Vice President, Land Use Committee Chair) has been in Loudoun since 1946, about when the Mighty Midget opened, the W&OD Railroad was still running, and Rt. 7 was a 2-lane road with no traffic signals between Leesburg and Tysons Corner, where the first stop sign appeared.
Norman received his bachelor’s degree in math at American University. After graduation he taught high school math. He traveled for 3 years exploring other cultures but landed in Loudoun again. It was good: proximity to DC, Dulles Airport, Blue Ridge Mountains, Potomac River. He built a career in retail in Leesburg. In the 1980s as the county began to explode, he moved into real estate. In 1990 Norman transitioned from selling real estate to appraising it. This new career allowed him to combine his love of the countryside and its farms, estates, and mountains, with his mathematical background, retail background, and knowledge of Loudoun real estate. Now, principal of Myers Appraisal Service, he and his staff are responsible for, among other types of commercial and estate appraisals, helping with appraising conservation easements on over 4,000 acres
