The Stafford County Board of Supervisors will discuss data centers at its meeting on Tuesday, June 26, 2023.
The Board will review recommendations made by a committee tasked by the county Planning Commission to establish where data centers should be located in the county. They include setting rules on how the centers are designed, how much power and water they use, building them away from neighborhoods to reduce noise complaints, and keeping them from harming natural resources.
