Local Leaders Rally Against Loudoun County Data Center Plans
Jefferson County First: Commission opposes Virginia data center project that would benefit Loudoun County while we pay the bill
The Spirit of Jefferson | Thursday, March 20, 2025
In a strong stance against a proposed data center project benefiting Loudoun County, Virginia, residents of Jefferson County express concerns over losing their land for power infrastructure meant for a wealthier area. The County Commission, meeting in Charles Town, emphasizes the need for local development that prioritizes the welfare of its own citizens. As electricity transmission lines are planned to connect to the coal industry in West Virginia, the community demands equitable distribution of jobs and tax revenue, rightfully opposing the project that threatens their farmland and livelihoods as articulated in an article by The Spirit of Jefferson.
