County officials canceled the in-person portion of a meeting tonight to solicit feedback on plans to build more data centers. The meeting will be live streamed via this link, county officials said. According to officials, they’re no longer allowing residents to sign up to speak during the meeting.

Prince William County Planning Director Rebecca Horner blamed the cancelation on inclement weather and provided a web link for poeple to view the meeting online and submit questions. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. The event will also be recorded.

Planners in Prince William will hold a meeting Thursday to discuss expanding the county’s data center overlay. The district is where officials will allow large, power-hungry data hubs that power the internet to be constructed.

In recent months, the County Board of Supervisors has attracted the interest of those who want  to build new data centers to the region, aiming to compete with neighboring Loudoun County, which has the highest concentration of data centers globally.

The 10th Marine Corps 17.15K is an 11-mile run through the National Park and Route 234 near Dumfries. Finishers get automatic entry to the Marine Corps Marathon on October 30, 2022.

Registration for the event began at noon.
