TV-7 Focuses on Loudoun County

On tonight's 5 p.m. news, ABC TV-7 reporter Gail Pennybacker reported live from Loudoun County with a feature on what the loss of the Dulles Rail project means to Loudoun County and it's development.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press is reporting this evening that the FTA will give Governor Tim Kaine until February 1 to address concerns about a plan to extend Metrorail to Dulles International Airport. A decision on funding for the $5 billion, 23-mile extension was expected sooner, but Kaine asked that it be delayed until he could respond to a critical report issued last week. Kaine said after the report was released that he believed the state had already addressed those concerns and that the FTA was putting up new roadblocks.
