Stafford County supervisors want data centers removed from the county’s technology-zone incentive program, arguing the extra tax breaks are no longer needed and could further cut into projected revenue once projects are built.

The discussion came during a joint meeting of the Board of Supervisors and the Economic Development Authority on Sept. 29. No vote was taken. Supervisors directed staff to place the item on the already-scheduled Oct. 27 work session, where the board will also discuss removing by-right status for data centers in the M-2 zoning district.

The increase follows a recent property reassessment and a proposed tax rate hike to offset growing state-mandated costs.
