Department of Planning, will speak on "Local Government's Modern Dilemma: Historic Preservation and Managing Landuse, Development, Community, and Heritage." Siebentritt has worked for Loudon County for 16 years. Her job involves ensuring the county's historic resources are preserved amidst rapid development and growth in the county. Last year, Forbes named Loudon County the second fastest growing in the United States. Between 2010 and 2012, the county experienced a 7.87 percent population increase.
