New Kent supervisors strike down tech district plan; rezone 340 acres for potential business park

The New Kent County Board of Supervisors rejected a proposed 1,800-acre technology overlay district intended for data centers. Concurrently, the board approved the rezoning of 343 acres within that area for The Curtis Group's Eltham Business Park, despite residents' concerns that it could still facilitate future data center development. County staff have been directed to draft a new data center ordinance with strict performance standards.
