The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted yesterday to approve a marketing partnership between the county and the Washington Redskins that would brand Loudoun as the team's "corporate home."

Board members voted 5 to 3, with one abstention, to approve the two-year deal, which will cost $250,000.

"It markets Loudoun County across the nation and across the globe," said Supervisor Susan Klimek Buckley (D-Sugarland Run), who voted in favor of the deal.

The board also approved a resolution directing county staff to begin discussions with the Redskins about locating a hall of fame in Loudoun.
