Deputy Executive Director For Engineering and Land Management
Jack Vega is responsible for managing the Moorefield property, including engineering, planning, and entitlements for the Foundation’s primary land asset. He began his engineering career with Dewberry working in water resources and land development projects throughout Northern Virginia. As a practicing engineer for more than 30 years, Mr. Vega holds Professional Engineer licensure in nine states and is a Designated Plans Examiner in Loudoun County. In 1999, he transitioned to a position at Toll Brothers, where he began his long association with Moorefield in the early 2000s. While he enjoyed engineering, planning, and entitling land development projects for large master-planned communities in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, Moorefield always had a special place for Mr. Vega. Moorefield is a transformational project for the Loudoun County community, with 9.75 million square feet of non-residential entitlements and 6,000 residential entitlements on the property, it is Loudoun’s largest zoning case. While fascinating for many reasons, such as its location (adjacent to the Ashburn Metro Station), its multimodal design (incorporating rail, bus, trails, and cars), its magnitude, and more, it is the impact that it has had and will continue to have in the local community that he enjoys the most. The community-based approach and acting as a steward of this much-coveted location are only augmented by the Foundation’s vision and mission.
Mr. Vega holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Virginia Tech. He is a past President of the Committee for Dulles, an Executive Board Member of Virginia Tech’s Land Development Design Initiative (LDDI), and a past member of the Board of Directors for the Engineers and Surveyors Institute (ESI). Mr. Vega is passionate about STEM education and is a Board Member of the ACE Mentor Program of Frederick County and supports the MATHCOUNTS™ Competition through the National Society of Professional Engineers. He also is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a past President of the Bull Run Chapter.
