The Council is aware, pursuant to §33.2-213 of the Code of Virginia, the locality in which the signs are located is required to pay the costs of producing, placing and maintaining the signs calling attention to this naming. While Loudoun County has agreed to pay these costs, should Loudoun fail to do so, Purcellville will bear the aforementioned signage costs.

I move that the Purcellville Town Council adopt Resolution 22-04-03 to request renaming Route 7 in the Town of Purcellville from Billy Pierce Memorial Pike to "Leesburg Pike" and to commemoratively name the same highway "Billy Pierce Memorial Pike".
