The City of Manassas is unique: it runs its own power system. That keeps bills lower.$

The City of Manassas, Virginia, which operates its own power system, benefits financially from data centers through revenue and taxes, helping to keep residents' utility bills low. Despite these benefits, residents are pushing back against data center approvals, citing concerns over noise, water use, and strain on the regional grid, and advocating for a more transparent approval process requiring special-use permits.
