The Fredericksburg City Council voted 7-0 on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025, to approve the Technology Overlay District (TOD), paving the way for data centers in Celebrate Virginia South. Today, the city revealed that Central Park developer The Silver Companies and STACK Infrastructure announced an agreement to build as many as 8-12 data sets in the city.
It marked the first time the public learned who would build and how many data centers would be built. The decision marks a shift in the city’s development strategy, prioritizing high-tech commercial investment over the previously envisioned mixed-use development.
