Prince William Board of County Supervisors
Prince William County is deeply immersed in commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States, blending local Revolutionary War history with robust educational outreach, research, exhibits, and public installations that connect residents—especially young people—to the nation’s founding story.
On June 9, 2026, Paige Gibbons Backus, Historic Site Manager with the county’s Office of Historic Preservation (part of the Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism), presented an overview of the Prince William County VA 250 efforts to the Board of Supervisors. The local commission, established in 2023, coordinates with state and national America 250 initiatives while emphasizing hyperlocal stories of patriots, loyalists, free and enslaved residents, and everyday contributions from Prince William’s past.
“The proposed zoning text amendment simply will restrict any further by-right development of data centers in Prince William County,” InsideNoVa reported. “That means any and all new data center projects will have to be approved or disapproved by the board.”
“As I said last year when I gave my directive to begin retiring the Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District, the overlay has created a situation where data center projects are authorized to build by right, bypassing review by the county’s Planning Department, Planning Commission, and even the Board of Supervisors,” Occoquan District Supervisor Kenny Boddye told InsideNoVa.
