Culpeper residents rally for data center moratorium

Roughly 60 residents gathered at the Reel LOVE sign in Culpeper for a rally supporting a pause on new data center development in Virginia. Participants spoke against the industrialization of farmland and urged officials to adopt a data center moratorium.

Speakers included David Pierce, Devyn Borden, PEC Culpeper land use representative Sarah Parmelee and Michael Carter Jr. of Carter Farms in Orange County. The event also featured a petition-style poster for residents to sign in support of a moratorium and opposition to Valley Link.
