Fauquier County moves to tighten path for new data centers
Fauquier County is considering new rules to restrict data center development, particularly outside the Vint Hill area. Amidst these discussions, Supervisor Daron Culbertson withdrew his application for a six-data-center project near Remington.
Daron Culbertson, Supervisor for Fauquier County's Lee District, withdrew his application for a six-data-center project on approximately 200 acres near Remington. The land is owned by his family and neighbors. This decision came as the Fauquier County Planning Commission was preparing to consider new regulations designed to restrict data center development to areas outside Vint Hill.
The proposed rules would make it significantly more difficult to build new data facilities in other parts of the county. This move by county officials aims to consolidate future data center expansion within the Vint Hill area. The article notes that three other proposed data center projects near Remington, as well as the Remington Innovation Campus, have also not advanced.
