Data Centers: Supervisors Defer Decision on Stafford Technology Park

The Stafford County Board of Supervisors voted on Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2o24, to delay a decision on the proposed Stafford Technology Park, a sprawling data center complex, until September 17, 2024. The deferral follows extensive discussions about the project’s potential impact on the county’s water resources and infrastructure.

The Stafford Technology Park, planned for over 500 acres in the Falmouth District, would transform undeveloped land into a significant data center hub. The proposed development includes 23 buildings, with a total floor area of 5.8 million square feet, and would require substantial infrastructure upgrades, including new road extensions and up to six electric substations.
