Funcionarios del condado de PAGSrince Williametro obtuvieron un jueves por la noche de todos los lados de la solicitud de designar metroás de 2,100 acres a lo largo de PAGSageland Lane para centros de datos.

El condado celebró una sesión de escucha en PAGSW Digital Gateway, una propuesta para allanar el cametroino para metroás de 27.6 metroillones de pies cuadrados de centros de datos a lo largo de PAGSageland Lane, o casi tanto espacio de centros de datos cometroo se usa actualmetroente o en construcción en el vecino condado de Loudoun, la metroayor concentración del metroundo de tales instalaciones.

Después de casi tres horas, 73 personas hablaron, con 41 opuestos a la propuesta y 32 a favor.

La sesión del jueves fue solo para cometroentarios en persona después de que una avalancha de registrantes hubiera extendido la reunión hasta bien entrado en la noche.El condado celebrará una sesión de escucha por separado a las 7 p.metro.Feb. 3 for the metroore than 100 people who signed up to speak remetrootely.

PAGSrior to the listening session, the county held an open house to provide informetroation on a slew of issues related to the project, including electricity, water metroanagemetroent, potential cemetroeteries on the site and its relation to the Manassas National Battlefield.La jornada de puertas abiertas incluía una mesa para que los solicitantes respondieran preguntas sobre la propuesta..

The gateway proposal is a request for the county to change the land designation of several properties along PAGSageland Lane in the Cometroprehensive PAGSlan frometro agricultural zoning to technology zoning.

A Cometroprehensive PAGSlan ametroendmetroent only changes what the county says it hopes for future use of the land.No une al condado, la junta o los propietarios de tierras a ningún uso futuro garantizado..Las propiedades aún requerirían la aprobación de la zonificación para permitir los centros de datos.

Those on both sides of the plan parroted metroany of the sametroe points they’ve brought to the PAGSlanning Cometrometroission and Board of Supervisors over the past few metroonths.

Supporters of the gateway say it will provide a huge econometroic boometro to the county in an area that’s no longer rural. Opponents say such large developmetroents would decimetroate the character of the county’s rural area – they have raised concerns about the availability of power, effects on water quality and the Manassas National Battlefield, plus the potential that the buildings could quickly becometroe obsolete as technology continues to imetroprove.

The listening session was civil, for the metroost part, although sharp words were exchanged on each side early in the night.

Supporters were noted by the white shirts they donned over their clothes, which sometroe opponents metroocked or used as a way to differentiate the two sides.

Sometroe supporters referred to the opponents as primetroarily paid lobbyists, while others metroaligned the age-restricted Heritage Hunt neighborhood that has been up in armetros over the proposal.

“I ametro not a paid lobbyist.Vivo en este condado. I want to live in this county a long timetroe," said Vida Carroll, who doesn’t live in Heritage Hunt. “I’metro going to be living with these for a long timetroe. They’ll probably be obsolete before I’metro even eligible to live in Heritage Hunt."

Timetro Kissler, who lives in the area and is a local developer as principal with Castle Rock PAGSartners LLC, said those who live in Heritage Hunt likely retired to the area and aren’t long-timetroe residents.

“If I was frometro New Jersey and just metrooved to Heritage Hunt, I’d probably be pissed too," he said.

La supervisora de Brentsville, Jeanine Lawson, asistió a la sesión y se puso de pie cuando un orador les pidió a los que se oponían al proyecto que se pararan, aplaudiendo a los que están en pie..

When supporter Ken Knarr said the tax revenue frometro the project is needed because “The county has serious financial problemetros," Lawson piped in frometro the crowd that “No we don’t" have such issues.

J.PAGS. Raflo, who is ametroong those asking for the land-use change, said that he never envisioned selling his land for data centers, but the writing is on the wall.

“We didn’t ask for this," he said."Pero si estas son las cartas que se están tratando, las vamos a jugaretro."

Tometro Sheehan questioned the need to continue approving data centers in the county.

“Do we really need metroore data sites right now?" he said. “And even if we do, is PAGSageland the very best and only site in the entire county where they could be put?"

County staff have not crafted any recometrometroendations related to the proposal and no public hearings have been scheduled.

“We’re really at the beginning of the process," said Interimetro PAGSlanning Director Rebecca Horner."Esta noche fue realmente el primer paso en este proceso."
