Briley, Rosenstrauch and Gordon supported their stories with dozens of statistics, displayed on an overhead screen.
Loudoun's population growth?
"We're about 200,000 now, up from the 1990 Census of 86,000," Rosenstrauch said.
Prince William's housing boom?
"Executive housing is a big, new story in Prince William County," Briley said.
"I think we had 5,000 new housing starts, more than any other community in Northern Virginia, last year," Briley said. "And the average value of these homes . . . every time I say the number somebody corrects me and adds $50,000 to the number. It's going up and up and up and up."
Gordon said Fairfax's population has grown from 455,000 in 1976 to about 1.1 million today.
"The expectation is that by the year 2020 we will be at 1.2 million, so expect 1.25," he said. "You'll see a similar trend, maybe even a steeper slope, in Loudoun and Prince William."
Three counties, three salesmen. Or as Rosenstrauch put it: "Welcome to the dueling PowerPoints."
