Stafford County officials will revisit their newly adopted data center regulations tonight, considering an ordinance that would exempt five previously approved developments from the stricter rules passed in October after a marathon joint hearing that stretched past 2:30 a.m.
On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, supervisors will weigh Ordinance O25-29(R). This revision would formally grandfather any data center project that had a rezoning, conditional use permit, or site plan approved on or before Oct. 21, 2025. County planners say the exemption was widely understood to be part of the board’s intent during the October vote but was never written into the final ordinance.

“The request was that this was not supposed to be brought back to us unless a specific set of information was provided, and you just stated that that information was not provided,” Fredericksburg Free Press reported. “Tonight, we would hope that Stafford County’s partnership would continue with the Patawomeck Tribe,” the tribe’s chief said, “But it did not.”

“Last year, the Stafford Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) hired a marketing consultant to assist us in increasing our fuel sales, which are a significant portion of our revenue,” Stafford Regional Airport Authority stated. “One of the consultant’s recommendations was to change the airport’s name, which pilots use, to signal to potential customers that the airport provides a range of capabilities and services consistent with larger airports.”
“The airport investigated further and found that several local airports have already changed their names to identify themselves as ‘executive’ airports,” the SRAA continued. “Since Chesterfield Airport, now Richmond Executive – Chesterfield County, has a footprint and mission similar to Stafford, I contacted their Airport Director and learned that Chesterfield’s fuel sales increased about 15% since the name change.”
“I’ve been serving Stafford for almost 20 years, building relationships, and it paid off in a big way,” Fredericksburg Free Press reported, quoting newly elected Aquia District Supervisor Maya Guy at a watch party Tuesday night. “As I say, when we come out, we show up and we show out,” added Falmouth District winner Kecia Evans. “So I want us to party like we ain’t never partied before because Democrats are in the house!”
